Soap & Skin - Spiracle

When I was a child
I toyed with dirt and I fought
As a child
I killed the slugs, I bored with a bough
In their spiracle

When I was a child
Peers pushed me hard
In my head, in my neck, in my chest, in my waist, in my butt

I still beg
Please help me

When I was a child
I threw with dung as I fought
As a child
I killed all thugs and bored with a bough
In their spiracle

When I was a child
Foes pushed me hard
In my ___, in my neck, in my chest, in my waist, in my butt

I still beg
Please help me

When I was a child
I rend my tongue distraught
As a child
I killed my thoughts and bored with a bough
In my spiracle

When I was a child
Fears pushed me hard
In my head, in my neck, in my chest, in my waist
I never loved

I still beg
Please help me

I was a child
I am a child

I've been searching for this song for years now, as I used to listen to it a lot when I was much younger but only had it on my mp3-player without knowing the artist. Finally found it! So damn good

This song was playing at an exhibit in the Louisiana museum of modern art, and now im here :D

This song truly speaks to me. Anja is a musical rarity of the modern age. It would be an honor to meet her! The lyrics are incredibly poetic!!

I love you, Soap & Skin. You are perfection.

[redcommando]

A young woman with anger, emotion and fear... all i want to know is why is she the only one expressing it through art? Absolute legend!

[finfun]

I love your song ❤
It makes me so happy when I here it. Every time.

[TrevStravay]

Your comments are great and true, Anja is incredibly human.

I’ve been killing socks since about that age too. Now I’m just an “ahma momma man”
