Lifeforms - Daughter

From the beginning

Small lifeforms

You can kill without warning

So they don’t explode

Stop your growing limbs and thinking

Do you love them now you’re blinking?

And reminding her of him

Oh, you steal his features

And your mother is a bleacher

She don’t even feel the heat, no

She don’t even want to speak to you

But you, you’ll always find another place to go

Oh

You always find another womb to grow

To grow…

To grow…

Well, you can try to sink down deeply

And find the children lost at sea

Find the children who discretely

Were killed in infancy

To stop them holding you and screaming

That you’ll lose your wildest dreaming

Still reminding me you of him

How he left without reasons

Oh, but you, you’ll always find another place to go

Oh

You’ll always find another womb to grow

To grow…

To grow…

You can try to forget, but I won’t let you easily

You can try to forget, but I won’t let you easily

I’m flooding out and I’m too washed out to see

Drifting away this time you’ll regret you’ve conceived it

Clean up the dead you leave behind

Just like insects

Clean up the dead you leave behind
