Newborn

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub

Useless

I'll be as deaf as a post

If you hold me like a newborn

Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration

To you

You'll spend the end of your days

Gently smiling like a newborn

Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration

To you

You'll spend the end of your days

Gently smiling like a newborn

Love not by degrees

Press your lips

To my eyes

Taste my tears

On your tongue

Pull the blinds

Play our song

Nothing's changed

Nothing could be wrong

Scream in the night

Kick and strike like a newborn

Holding me shaking awake in the dark

All of these promises kept still unbroken

Tracing the scars, tracing the scars

Even and cold as we both become older

Your arms bound about me

The hush in your voice

The warmth of your fingers entwined around mine

In the eve of our lives

Never a choice
