Motherhood

Motherhood :
and so, it goes
i let him in and now he grows
in me
in my body, in my head
i see vultures circling my bed.

oh, when i breathe i know i'm breathing for two
when i breath i know i'm breathing for you

and then, again
i never, no i never, wanted to be a mother
or a wife
can't you go and find your god
give him back his miracle of life

oh, when i breathe i know i'm breathing for two
when i breath i know i'm breathing for you

i've got the doctor, the midwife, the priest and the nurse
but where is the undertaker in his herse, his herse
to rip this blood sucker from my abdomen
give me back my body
let me start again, again.

oh father, practice that you preach is flawed
a parasite is my reward for 38 weeks of unbearable dischord

oh, when i breathe i know i'm breathing for two
when i breath i know i'm breathing for you
oh, when i breathe i know i'm breathing for two
when i breath i know i'm breathing for you

when i bleed i know i'm bleeding for two
when i bleed i know i'm bleeding for you
