Born Tired - Birdflesh

You gave birth to a kid

That fell asleep immediately

He wakes up when it’s time to eat

Then he falls asleep again

Born tired — born to sleep, live to rest

Born tired — floor is good, sofa is better, bed is best

25 years later he’s still tired

After dinner his eyes are closed

He wakes up at 5 am

His head hangs low all the time
