Slow Birth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My red ribbon's soaked with success, my baby is born Life won't wait at heaven's gate, it burns I tear your sleep with long, white fingers, bless my stupid mouth You're just another nail in my house [Chorus] It's been a slow birth Red blood, slow birth It's been a slow birth Red blood, slow birth [Verse 2] I see her face in the garden, planting a white rose It casts a seed, it turns the latch, it grows [Verse 3] I keep my wires under glass to blink my evil eye I drown the cross and sand it down, bone dry Who will rock the cradle when my hands are forced to lie? My ego sinks, my gate is slight, I die [Chorus] It's been a slow birth Red blood, slow birth It's been a slow birth Red blood, slow birth
