Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born more brawn than most
Born warm
Born close to ghost
Born storm
Born old
Grew young
You could tell she wasn't from
The same place as the rest of us
[Verse 2]
Born wrong
Born strong
She grew
Growing is what anyone would do
She was ridiculous
Born too smart and too dumb
[Verse 3]
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Don't swallow yet
She felt
[Verse 4]
All the things that others didn't feel or if they did
They did a lot to conceal
She felt skies and bricks and rain
She felt it all
It made her fall
And weep beneath a crawling dawn
When everything was ruined and torn
She felt ill
But she felt still
[Verse 5]
Born blind
Born seeing
Born man
She stands
Opponents mean nothing, she's a titan
Born of the first breed
Born in the last days
Frightened of nothing that bleeds
All of the things in her life that have happened
All of the changes
All of the strangers
All, but this is not all
That she was born to be
[Verse 6]
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Don't swallow yet
She felt
[Verse 7]
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Don't swallow yet
She felt
