lyrics

(Breathing, Birthing
He's still
Breathing, Birthing)

I dropped another love baby before I left
I'm starting a collection of children with bruises on their heads
But I never knew the bruises would look so much like roses
Seeing that they come and then they go

I named them all by number because I forgot their names
So let me explain...

One's a well known legend
Two, well I disposed him but 365 days of tears grows his grave
Three was born five days the same as me and we grew up that way &
Four taught me about beetles
but we had to throw we had to throw yeah we had to throw him out
at 22
Five kept switching boobs

until I had none
x4

Six was true
Seven, transparent

& Eight
x4

Eight was born in fire, while his dad was still on drugs and he's still

Breathing, birthing
x2

He's still breathing
Lord he's still breathing
x4

[Repeat]

He's still
