i was born lying –
i’ve been cheating from the very start
i charmed my way out of the underworld
but i looked back too soon –
left something behind
i was born starving –
beneath a fruit tree i can never reach
standing in wine i can never drink
i can feel it, i know
if i fly too high, i’ll start to fall
my heart is held together with wax
too much salt, too much sun –
and it all comes apart
i was born freezing –
so i ask – darling, can you burn me to ash?
