My Time Outside The Womb Lyrics - Airing Of Grievances - Titus Andronicus

The first thing you see is the light 

Then, you focus on a man in a mask with a knife 

As he cuts you away from everything you thought you knew about life 

Now you're in your mother's arms, wrinkled and wet 

You'll spend the rest of your life trying to hard to forget 

That you met the world naked and screaming 

And that's how you'll leave it 

In Riverside Hospital, on a July morning 

With a push and a pull - this is how I found out 

I wasn't quite so invulnerable 

It put the fear of God in me when I heard my daddy say, 

"One mistake is all that it takes."

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I ended up at Central School, 1993, 

And met a certain kid named Sarim at the library 

He said, "they're ain't nothing about this place that's elementary." 

I learned to play the guitar in the seventh grade 

In order to convince everyone I was a renegade 

That's when I learned, in Glen Rock, 

Everybody calls a spade a spade 

I couldn't fool anyone 

I couldn't even fool myself 

I was just another book on the shelf, nothing else
