tonight
i sleep inside my own body
for child
you kept me in the old country
i leave you with nourishment
prayers for the journey
may happiness come with this
may you ever flourish
tonight
i tear apart the tapestry
those years
i built you with my own body
no gratefulness come from this
have i been so foolish
so take from me
violently
i will suffer through it
tonight
i sleep inside my own body

i tear apart the tapestry

i built you with my own body
no gratefulness come from this
have i been so foolish
so take from me

i sleep inside my own body
