Baby Steps - Birdeatsbaby

She came to me with baby steps, at first

I could not see this blessing it was a curse

Her eyes are hollow like an open grave

I cannot help myself, I am to blame

I gave the baby too much milk to drink

Then it got greedy and learned how to think

I see it crawling out an open grave

I cannot help myself, I am to blame

It’s more than I could ever ask of you

It’s more

It’s more than I could ever take from you

It’s too much, more

I rock your cradle till the splinters come

I tie you up until you come undone

We’ll think it over, in your open grave

I cannot help myself, I am to blame

It’s getting easier to hide from you

I set the trap and watch you run into

All my obsession coming down in spades

I cannot help myself

It’s more than I could ever ask of you

It’s more

It’s more than I could ever take from you

It’s too much, more

You never punished me, it’s too late

Why don’t you keep away?

I’ve been so tired but awake

While you keep counting down

It’s more than I could ever ask of you

It’s more

It’s more than I could ever take from you

It’s too much, more
