Jenny Hval, Laura Jean - Accident lyrics

Once she was a mystery of life
Now she is skyping with her friend
They are both childless
It rings a hollow tone: childless
No longer a mystery of life just less
She found stretch mark cream
In an Airbnb bathroom it was just cream
Rubbing it on her belly, she felt nothing

I was just an accident
I was just an accident
I was just an accident, even to myself

She is curious about crying nipples
To her friend she finds herself saying:
"I wonder how I've managed
To avoid conceiving you know, by accident
So many years so little fruit
You know, maybe I would’ve just kept it
Probably, I can't even do it", she says
She eats dried figs from a container

I was an accident i was an accident
Once I was an accident, and a mystery of life

Once I made people believe
In miracles, or God, or love
I was the hour of the star
I moved like a jellyfish
I smelled of nothing
And she was told she was the closest
Her mother came to magic
She is made for other things
Born for cubist yearnings
Born to write born to burn

She is an accident she is flesh in dissent
She is an accident a curious androgyne
She is an accident flesh in dissent
Flesh in dissent
