Swans - Beautiful Child lyrics

These are the things I hold onto These are the things that I use to deceive myself I line them up in front of me I judge them carefully Then I throw them all away I throw them all away I am a small man I am not a dangerous man I love a child I love a beautiful child What a beautiful idea I will hold this child in my arms And caress his soft head Listen to him cry, listen to him cry The beautiful child, the beautiful child The beautiful child This is my life This is my choice This is my damnation This is my only regret This is my life This is my life This is my sacrifice This is my sacrifice This is my life This is my damnation This is my only regret that I ever was born This is my only regret that I ever was born This is my sacrifice This is my life What a beautiful idea This is my regret Get out of my head
