The Face In The Embryo

Artists : Blood Brothers, The : The Face In The Embryo

I spent seventeen nights, seventeen nights in the city
Watching the horizon beckon for a buck knife
To bludgeon it's belly, to end the pregnancy
I've spent seventeen nights, seventeen nights in the city
Watching the face, the face in the embryo
Pleading for cesarean, traced by fleshy twilight

You can see it all from the rooftops
Threatening birth
A swollen vagina in the sky
Threatening birth (x2)

Three shades of blood to soak it's bed
Fiery red for the shutdown of the science science science bled sun
Viscous black for the sex lives of the science science science fed youth (x2)
Milk white for the impossible vista of the skyline
As it shorted out (x4)
And was replaced by a network of newsprint

You can see it all from the rooftops
Threatening birth
A swollen vagina in the sky
Threatening birth
So close, you can smell the morphine in its veins
