Birth

You can take my hair
Take the last piece of my self-esteem
And everything I think is fair

You can take my kidneys
I never cared about them at all
I know, the pain will make me crawl
But this is so, so small

But I beg to the gods
That they never take
But I beg to the gods
That they never take my pillar from me

You can take my lungs
Anyway, they never worked well
Let a cancer eat every cell

You can take the son I don't have yet
Make me thirsty, make me drink sweat
The placenta has burst
And now the ground is wet

But I beg to the gods
That they never take
But I beg to the gods
That they never take

But I say to the gods
That they could take
My sleep, my last shot of gin
But please, please

I beg to the gods
Oh please, please
That they never take
My pillar from me
