My Birth
Swans

Then I strangled your neck
'cause I love you too much.
Then I kissed your red mouth
'cause I love you to death.

Now mother, I need you;
I need your claws in my neck.
Every breath that I breathe in
Feeds the life that I lack

Now right here I was born,
In the place where you kneeled.
In the burning white sand,
In the blood that you spilled.

Far, far in the distance
I hear the howl of the beast.
I feel his breath on my face,
I feel the edge of his teeth.

And I'll swallow your sorrow,
And I'll inhale your fear.
And I'll steal your tomorrows,
And I'll inject your tears.

So please never forgive me,
Please spit on my name.
But hold on to my memory,
And keep me to blame.

Oh please need me to blame.
You need me to blame.
