The Magnetic Fields - I Was Born lyrics

I was born i hate this part
Being someone new being torn
Seeing someone who died as you grew

Growing older is killing a child
Who laughed and smiled at anything
Growing colder and less and less wild
And learning to sing i was young
Then not so young scary either way
One more rung
Down that black ladder every day

One more floor down the elevator
To oblivion what fun
But the singularly awful one is being born
