Born warm, born close to ghost Born storm, born old, grew young
You could tell she wasn't from the same place as the rest of us
Born wrong, born strong, she grew Growing is what anyone would do
She was ridiculous, born too smart and too dumb
Born to hold the world under her tongue Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue Don't swallow yet, she felt
All the things that others didn't feel, or if they did
They did a lot to conceal, she felt skies and bricks and rain
She felt it all and made her fall and weep beneath the crawling dawn
When everything was ruined and torn
She felt you, but she felt still
Born blind, born seeing, born man she stands Opponents mean nothing, she's a titan
Born of the first breed, born in the last days Frightened of nothing that bleeds
All of the things in her life that have happened All of the changes, all of the strangers, oh
But this is not all that she was born to be
Born to hold the world under her tongue Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue Don't swallow yet, she felt
Born to hold the world under her tongue Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue Don't swallow yet, she felt
