Baby Steps

She came to me with baby steps, at first
I could not see this blessing it was a curse
Her eyes are hollow like an open grave
I cannot help myself, I am to blame
I gave the baby too much milk to drink
Then it got greedy and learned how to think
I see it crawling out an open grave
I cannot help myself, I am to blame
It’s more than I could ever ask of you
It’s more
It’s more than I could ever take from you
It’s too much, more
I rock your cradle till the splinters come
I tie you up until you come undone
We’ll think it over, in your open grave
I cannot help myself, I am to blame
It’s getting easier to hide from you
I set the trap and watch you run into
All my obsession coming down in spades
I cannot help myself
It’s more than I could ever ask of you
It’s more
It’s more than I could ever take from you
It’s too much, more
You never punished me, it’s too late
Why don’t you keep away?
I’ve been so tired but awake
While you keep counting down
It’s more than I could ever ask of you
It’s more
It’s more than I could ever take from you
It’s too much, more
