Newborn

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub

Useless

I'll be as deaf as a post

If you hold me like a newborn

Newborn

Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration

To you

You'll spend the end of your days

Gently smiling like a newborn

Newborn

Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration

To you

You'll spend the end of your days

Gently smiling like a newborn

Newborn

Loves not by degrees

Press your lips

To my eyes

Taste my tears

On your tongue

Pull the blinds

Play our song

Nothings changed

Nothing could be wrong

Scream in the night

Kick and strike

Like a newborn

Holdin' me shakin'

Awake in the dark

All of these promises

Kept and unbroken

Tracin' the scars

Tracin' the scars

Even and cold

As we both become older

Your arms bound about me

The hush in your voice

The warmth of your fingers

Entwined around mine

In the eve of our lives

Never a choice
