New Mother

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Remove my hand from your pocket Pluck my eye from your socket I am the secret sharer Bleeding knees your covers Show me the texture of your pregnant tongue Prepare my mind with emotion Cut me a delicate soft wet place I am your new mother beginning [Refrain] Why am I so cruel? Why am I so cruel? Why am I so cruel? Why am I so cruel? [Verse 2] My body is a contorted accretion Your body is my only possession I am a stranger in your stomach Calling out your name underwater Feed me with rose-scented honey milk Configure my mind with your voice of silk I bring you the gift malignant I am your new mother beginning [Refrain] Why am I so cruel? Why do I love you? Why are you so beautiful? Because you are cruel
