Lyrics Unforeseen Consequences - COGNIZANCE

Unforeseen Consequences

A memory of a scar
Taken from our precious coalition
Entering the realm of birth
I am summoned with the stillness
A torturous welcoming bestows the precious enigma
Cupped in my mother’s shaking hands
A frantic blur of flesh
Cradling an object only ghostwriters conjure
Her lips press against a figure so cold and blue
Sticky vernix coats her trembling mouth
Her eyes are sealed to erase this horror
The knife has spoken
Dissection and separation
The knife has spoken
Dissection and separation
Neonate flesh is prepared for the great partition
Intervention with nature’s intentions
Entering the realm of birth
I am summoned with the stillness
A torturous welcoming bestows the precious enigma
Cupped in my mother’s shaking hands
A frantic blur of flesh
Cradling an object only ghostwriters conjure
Years have passed and I cannot recall
Any of this agonizing episode
Yet this scar on my side
Is the origin of my maker’s obsession
In secrecy I study the forbidden diary
Her memoir unfurls a sewer of clandestine activity
I learn of the being torn from my side
I learn of the jar of preservation and nauseation
Deeply unsettling discovery of distorted malformation
Information i wish to remove from my mind
Now I know the beginnings of this scar
The hideousness of what came to be
What came to be
