Lyrics[]

Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb, one shape, one resolve
Liberate this will to release us all

Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
That's keeping me from killing you

And from pulling you down with me in here
I can almost hear you scream

Give me one more medicated peaceful moment
Give me one more medicated peaceful moment

And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility

Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue

Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
That's keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you
