[ti:My Time Outside The Womb] [ar:Titus Andronicus] [al:The Airing Of Grievances] [00:01.00]Titus Andronicus - My Time Outside The Womb [00:04.00]LRC by lzh ,from jiangxi pingxiang [00:10.00] [00:11.53]The first thing you see is the light. [00:16.61]Then, you focus on a man in a mask with a knife [00:19.82]as he cuts you away from everything [00:21.67]you thought you knew about life. [00:24.21]Now you're in your mother's arms, wrinkled and wet. [00:28.34]You'll spend the rest of your life trying to hard to forget [00:31.14]that you met the world naked and screaming [00:34.10]and that's how you'll leave it. [00:36.32] [00:37.67]In Riverside Hospital, on a July morning, [00:42.21]with a push and a pull - this is how I found out [00:44.76]I wasn't quite so invulnerable. [00:49.04]It put the fear of God in me [00:53.01]when I heard my daddy say, [00:55.60]"one mistake is all that it takes." [01:01.12] [01:14.78]I ended up at Central School, 1993, [01:18.52]and met a certain kid named Sarim at the library. [01:22.15]He said, "they're ain't nothing about this place that's elementary." [01:27.43]I learned to play the guitar in the seventh grade [01:30.51]in order to convince everyone I was a renegade. [01:33.61]That's when I learned, in Glen Rock, [01:36.59]everybody calls a spade a spade. [01:38.85] [01:40.11]I couldn't fool anyone. [01:43.58]I couldn't even fool myself. [01:46.59]I was just another book on the shelf, nothing else. [01:55.54]
