Undone (When We Are Born)

As we get bigger and bigger

The distance between ourselves

And that other outside world

Becomes smaller and smaller

And this world that we are inside

Which seems so huge in the beginning

And so infinitely welcoming

Has become very uncomfortable

And we are obliged to be born

And my father says that

Birth is so chaotic and violent

That he's sure that at the moment of birth

We're all thinking

"This is it"

"This is death"

"This is the end of my life"

And then we're born and it's a surprise

'Cause it's just the beginning
