LYRICS
In the beginning there was semen
In a deep mouth of flesh
And the crest I traveled
On a wave of virile mess
Through a tunnel of mucus
And on toward a vault
With tourists and traffic
I just paced myself
Not I as my whole self
Just the half that I had
Before greeting the rest
Of my better half
A connection was made
Through a shared love of science
And vows were taken
A seed was hired
A cavern of fluid
Brought shape to my hide
In the months that remained
Till the time of my life
I thrashed for the reason
Of spilling from the crack
To the palms of a doctor
To a towel full of scraps
My brains wouldn't fit
Through her organs of sex
An incision was made
With a scalpel and mask
I should have noticed the beauty
And not how it hurt
Wet like a cherry
In the bloodbath of birth
