Swans - Helpless Child lyrics

Now you be the mother and I'll be your fool I'll hide myself deep inside your crimson pool The muddy water runs beneath your folds You won't let me breathe, you won't let me go Now you'll be the stranger and I'll be the white-skinned son You'll blacken my innocence with sugar and opium The children were suffocating down in your damp cave And you were the mother and I was a sleeping slave Protect me from violence, hold me in your cool lips You'll drug me with kindness so I can pretend I exist Now you be the only child, I'll s** on your breast You'll feed me with gasoline, I'll burn my name in your head
