My Time Outside the Womb |
| The first thing you see is the light |
| Then you focus on a man in a mask with a knife |
| As he cuts you away from everything you thought you knew about life |
| Now you’re in your mother’s arms, wrinkled and wet |
| You’ll spend the rest of your life trying to hard to forget |
| That you met the world naked and screaming |
| And that’s how you’ll leave it |
| In Riverside Hospital, on a July morning |
| With a push and a pull, this is how I found out |
| I wasn’t quite so invulnerable |
| It put the fear of God in me when I heard my daddy say |
| «one mistake is all that it takes.» |
| I ended up at Central School, 1993 |
| And met a certain kid named Sarim at the library |
| He said, «they're ain’t nothing about this place that’s elementary.» |
| I learned to play the guitar in the seventh grade |
| In order to convince everyone I was a renegade |
| That’s when I learned, in Glen Rock |
| Everybody calls a spade a spade |
| I couldn’t fool anyone |
| I couldn’t even fool myself |
| I was just another book on the shelf, nothing else |
