ᏕᎬᏙᎯ Ꭼ / Caesarian (Nick You Remix)

original piano, strings, and lyrics
dedicated to all the women who've undergone such procedures
---l-y-r-i-c-s----
CURTAINS AND HER COLD HAND IN MY GRIP
SCALPEL BLADE SHINES, THE FIRST RIP
SOON BOTH FEET IN HAND, BEFORE MY EYES
AT LAST THE BEGINNING OF MANY MORE CRIES

ASSEMBLY LINE PRECISION, RESTITCH AN INCISION
FROM TRIAGE, LEG MASSAGE
TO MOTHER BABY DIVISION
MAXIMUM SECURITY, NO HOT WATER, BROKEN BED
HOUR AFTER HOUR, SPECIMENS COLLECTED,
BABY HEELS BLED

NOW THREE DAYS, MUST PART WAYS, YOU GO, BABY STAYS
DON’T FUSS WITH US, JUST TRUST US,
INFANT LOST IN THE MAZE
SIGN THIS AND SIGN THAT,NOW GET OUT, MAKE IT QUICK
WHEELCHAIR ABDOMINAL SCAR
TO WAITING CAR, AIN’T WE SLICK

BABY HEART MONITOR, PITOCIN STRIP
QUICKER CONTRACTIONS, EPIDURAL DRIP
INSURANCE AGREES TO THE EMERGENCY SELECTION
WHEELED INTO THE O.R., CAESARIAN SECTION

CURTAINS AND HER COLD HAND IN MY GRIP
SCALPEL BLADE SHINES, THE FIRST RIP
SOON BOTH FEET IN HAND, BEFORE MY EYES
AT LAST THE BEGINNING OF MANY MORE CRIES

NOW THREE DAYS, MUST PART WAYS,
YOU GO, BABY STAYS!
