Mama, I’m Swollen Songtext
von Cursive

I was alone
I was at home
Til the fabric was torn
The cord was cut
My orbit had begun

I was a simple being
I was simply being
Til I caught my own reflection
In a spoon

I am the egg
I am the spark
The fire in the dark
I am fertilized, fully actualized
A loaded gun
Born near the blood red sun
Born near the blood red sun


I am not ignorant
I am intelligent
I′m not an ape
I am the way
I am the truth

I am religion
I am politics
I am a psychoanalyst
I'm an inkblot shaped like Zeus

I′m not an egg
I'm a runny yolk
Got no faith I got no hope
I'm the joke of all existence
I am no one
Burning ′neath the blood red sun
Just a burning ′neath the blood red sun

I am the body and the blood
The earthquake and the flood
I am the cancer born and growing in each and everyone
To the beat of a blood red sun
To the beat of a blood red sun
