Swans - My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky

My Birth

Then I strangled your neck
'Cause I love you too much
Then I kissed your red mouth
'Cause I love you to death

Now, mother, I need you
I need your claws in my neck
Every breath that I breathe in
Feeds the life that I lack

Now, right here, I was born
In the place where you kneeled
In the burning white sand
In the blood that you spilled

Far, far in the distance
I hear the howl of the beast
I feel his breath on my face
I feel the edge of his teeth

And I'll swallow your sorrow
And I'll inhale your fear
And I'll steal your tomorrows
And I'll inject your tears

So please, never forgive me
Please, spit on my name
But hold on to my memory
And keep me to blame

Please, need me to blame
Yeah, need me to blame
Need me to blame
