Unforeseen Consequences by Cognizance Lyrics

[Intro]
A memory of a scar
Taken from our precious coalition

[Chorus]
Entering the realm of birth
I am summoned with the stillness
A torturous welcoming bestows the precious enigma
Cupped in my mother's shaking hands
A frantic blur of flesh
Cradling an object only ghostwriters conjure

[Verse 1]
Her lips press against a figure so cold and blue
Sticky vernix coats her trembling mouth
Her eyes are sealed to erase this horror

[Verse 2]
The knife has spoken
Dissection and separation
The knife has spoken
Dissection and separation
Neonate flesh is prepared for the great partition
Intervention with nature's intentions
[Chorus]
Entering the realm of birth
I am summoned with the stillness
A torturous welcoming bestows the precious enigma
Cupped in my mother's shaking hands
A frantic blur of flesh
Cradling an object only ghostwriters conjure

[Verse 3]
Years have passed and I cannot recall
Any of this agonizing episode
Yet this scar on my side
Is the origin of my maker's obsession

[Bridge]
In secrecy I study the forbidden diary
Her memoir unfurls a sewer of clandestine activity

[Verse 4]
I learn of the being torn from my side
I learn of the jar of preservation and nauseation
Deeply unsettling discovery of distorted malformation
Information i wish to remove from my mind

[Outro]
Now I know the beginnings of this scar
The hideousness of what came to be
What came to be
