lirik lagu still birth – jack rootes

[intro]

“gonna go sentimental for this track
yeah, drums.”

[verse 1]

this is a letter to my dear brother or sister
years since you p-ssed on, but i miss ya
but could i miss a person that i barely knew?
a person who died whilst in my mother’s womb
sometimes i sit and ponder for a little while
what it would be like if i wasn’t an only child
as a fetus, did you give in or put up a fight?
if you were around, what would you be like?

the most obvious thing would be your gender
and if your life, like mine, was full of splendor
would you’ve been a tomboy hanging out with guys
or a handsome young man with most beautiful eyes?
would you share and care just as much as our mother?
would you’ve been a performer like your older brother?
those things i wonder about as i grow
i’d love you whoever you’d become, just know

[hook]

those i love still wonder (why?)
why did you have to disappear?

and i’m here wondering
how different would things be if you were still here?

[verse 2]

i still wonder why fate chose to let you die
why it chose to make our mum and dad cry
and really, our mother for you had so much love
your death had destroyed her faith in god above
when i think about you, i can’t help but ponder
i sit down for a bit and wonder like yonder
yet one question to this day refuses to be cleared:
how different would our lives be if you were here?

would we be fighting like every typical siblings?
would you be with me, giving these beats k!llings?
would you’ve got along with kyran and sharna?
would you turn to me if your life had got darker?
would you be disappointed in cliff like i am?
would you’ve grown to a good woman or man?
everyone else says you’re the past, i shouldn’t be sad
but to me, you’re the sibling that i never had

[hook]

[bridge]

from heaven to the womb, back to heaven again
and now, i wonder what your life could’ve meant
would things have changed if mum had two kids
instead of just one? (you’re the sibling that i missed)
(x2)

[verse 3]

but then i think about how it could’ve been me
that p-ssed on in my mum’s gut, you see
a miscarriage can happen to anybody
that alone can fill any parent with worry
i know my mother’s well aware of that fact
i’m sure it hurts losing a child like that
especially if there’s no heir to the family throne
i hope it doesn’t happen when i make my own

so in closing, all i just want to say
no matter who you’d become, i’d love you either way
and i’m sorry you died before your life begun
i know that you would’ve had a lot of fun
and if it was up to me to give you a pleasent name
i’d call you matthew, natalie, something with acclaim
i know you and our family would love one another
signed jack, your would be older brother

[hook x2]
