My chest bleeds
And it all goes black
If you knew the seeds
You’d know it all goes back
To that moment I opened
My eyes to this cruel world
And then I listened
As their hatred unfurled
My body bleeds as a result
Of my first breath
An egregious insult
To the jaws of death.

My chest bleeds
And it all goes black
If you knew the seeds
You’d know it all goes back
To that moment I opened
My eyes to this cruel world
And then I listened
As their hatred unfurled
My body bleeds as a result
Of my first breath
An egregious insult
To the jaws of death.
