Ari on ff.net suggested that this was a song for Origins 13, and I'm shocked by how much this song works. Iris thinks it might be a bit mean to Harry, but I'm impressed.

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub, useless.
I'll be as deaf as a post, if you hold me like a newborn
Whisper what you feel
my badly strung declaration to You
You'll spend the end of your days, gently smiling like a newborn
Love not by degrees

Press your lips to my eyes
Taste my tears on your tongue
Pull the blinds, play our song
Nothings changed, nothing could be wrong

Scream in the night, kick and strike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking, awake in the dark
All of these promises, kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold
As we both become older, your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice, the warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice

I'm listening to it right now (ah, the wonders of Audiogalaxy), and I agree; it's amazingly fitting. When I read 13, Draco actually reminded me of someone gently cleansing a newborn baby, taking care to wash every crease and toe. *mushy feelings*

Like a newborn
Holding me shaking, awake in the dark
All of these promises, kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars

Wow. Very cool this is.
*goes off to read 13 again while listening to this*
