Stillborn Lyrics by Abbie Barrett

Dying Day

2008

Sleepless November
And there’s nobody around
So I just stand watch
In the dark of hollow sounds
And try to remember
All the pieces in between
From its inception
To the death you wish were clean
And where you stand now
As I try to break ground
Your plough in hand now
Gonna smooth down this mound
You smooth it down
You came to my window
And you offered me a seed
But said don’t plant this
Girl you know it’s just a weed
But I took a chance
On what you just couldn’t conceive
And while you slept by
Well I buried it in me
And felt it grow
As I carried its weight
I let it show
You never doubting its fate
I doubted fate
Stillborn
How do you lay to rest
Something that never drew a breath
Stillborn
How do you put in the grave
Something that never had a name
Feed me the future
While I’m choking on the past
And then convince me
That sorrow doesn’t last
But life is defined by
All the memories that we keep
And since you won’t, well
Then I guess that’s up to me
To hold them fast
So afraid you’ll let go
This sticky sadness
The only thing left to show
Left to show
Stillborn
How do you lay to rest
Something that never drew a breath
Stillborn
How do you put in the grave
Something that never had a name
Cause then at least I could say what a shame
Shout in your face, stake my claim
Mourn an acceptable loss
Instead of hiding this ghost at all cost
Stillborn
How do you lay to rest
Something that never drew a breath
Stillborn
How do you put in the grave
Something that never even had a name
