Someone with Child Songtext

von J. Tillman

Lifegiver you have gnashing teeth
For the children that you have
The children that you have to eat
So you can find the strength to breed
I gave you all the strength you need
Now I'm wearing your mark
And now I nurse your fatal flaw
And it won't die in your unmarked grave
‘Cause that's the legacy you made
That's the legacy you gave

Oh, your suicidal stain
‘Cause you saw something on my wing
Something on my wing
You knew
Before unexpectedly
You were hollowed out with grief
Clipped the glory of your youth
Oh, God, the evils you'd undo
And the curse that was handed down to you
Well I was taking all the poison
Choking down an ocean
That lay between a miracle and you
