[Verse: Ren]

I remember swinging like a pendulum by my umbilical cord

The surgeon held me up proudly like a prized fish

And all I could think was, "Put me back, put me back"

To be violently ejected from the safety of the womb

Into this Tartarian nightmare felt cruel

I looked up at my mother, once my home

And now the orchestrator of my exile and I felt desertеd

I'd feel this feeling again

With everyone that I'd еver love

I remember summoning a burst of air from my diaphragm

And it ripped through the tightly strung fibers of my vocal chords

And I made a terribly repugnant sound

A giant ugly, gloved hand hoisted my tiny, writhing body onto a sterilised surface

And began hacking at my umbilical cord with a stainless steel scalpel

Who were these barbarians that would sever me from my one avenue of nourishment?

I was passed back to my mother

And she looked down at me and she smiled

How can you smile at a time like this?

What is this world?

I quickly realised that I did not belong here

The one thing that brought solace, that brought peace

Was the rhythmic beat emanating from my mother's heart monitor

I remember it clearly now

It beeped like a metronome

Steady, rhythmically

And all of a sudden, I could hear music

Yeah, I could hear music

And in that music, I could hear the heartbeat of the universe

Primal, connected, formless, yet with form

Empty spaces filled with bursts of matter

And I was enamoured, I was in awe, I was at the altar of gods

I knew I had to pursue this feeling every day

Or I would surely die
