Kae Tempest
You, at the End
Born more brawn than most
Born warm
Born close to ghost
Born storm
Born old
Grew young
You could tell she wasn't from
The same place as the rest of us
Born strong
Born wrong
She grew
Growing is what anyone would do
She was ridiculous
Born too smart and too dumb
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Don't swallow yet
She felt
All the things that others didn't feel or if they did
They did a lot to conceal
She felt skies and bricks and rain
She felt it all
It made her fall and weep beneath a crawling dawn
When everything was ruined and torn
She felt ill but she felt still
Born blind
Born seeing
Born man
She stands
Opponents mean nothing she's a titan
Born of the first breed
Born in the last days
Frightened of nothing that bleeds
All of the things in her life that have happened
All of the changes
All of the strangers
But this is not all that she was born to be
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Don't swallow yet
She felt
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Born to hold the world under her tongue
Don't swallow yet
She felt
