“Even Babies Bleed Adult Tears”
Can I count the circles?...Actually, no I can't...best believe though I keep me some baby dreams right by my side...Baby me would have for sure sampled Cage and Portishead, two dreams playing side by side while crying bloody murder only in hopes to save the world for the future babies...
lyrics
Babies have bleeding hearts too, sometimes they love and sometimes they spill
But on the real, that's a euphemism for innocent chills
Sometimes they strengthen us, sometimes they scar us
Anonymous, Whether hard as steel, or soft as egg shells
Tip toe thru life by method of cheap thrills
Obscure revelations from once no longer friends
Tellin' ourselves they'll be there till the end
Don't take life too seriously, no one makes it out alive
I thought that was a funny joke, but I don't do coke
Contrive what's independence, We're in this together
A remembrance why we strive to to pride our individuality
Tethered to uniqueness in the same, we are all human
Spirituality of the fact we can all think freely
Dreamin' universally we can live how we think
Intensely romantic like that of bottomless ink
Crying out not a world for our babies, but where they should be
even babies, they bleed adult tears
we're just struggling, not to die in a world of tragic fear
