Childbirth tears upon her muscles
Very first, second a screaming icon
Babies in time barely even recognise
Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips
Pre-Chorus:
D5 G5
My idea of love comes from
C5 F5
A childhood glimpse of pornography
D5 G5
Though there is no true love
Bb5 C5
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Chorus (ok I don't think these chords are completely accurate, but a good basis)
C5 G5 F5
Life becoming a landslide
Bb5 C5
Ice freezing, nature dead
C5 G5 F5
Life becoming a landslide
Bb5 C5
I don't wanna be a man

Everyday more numb to agony
This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely
One day I realise oil on canvas
Can never paint a petal oh so delicate
