"Birthing Addicts", es una canción inédita de Melanie Martinez. Estaba destinado a ser la tercera pista de su EP acústico, Take Me to the Moon, sin embargo, el proyecto fue descartado más tarde. Luego fue reutilizado para su EP de 2013, que finalmente también fue descartado. Se planeó volver a grabarlo para Cry Baby , sin embargo, se desconoce si lo hizo.[1]

Melanie escribió la canción en 2011 para una tarea de crédito adicional en la escuela y terminó obteniendo una A. Está basada en el libro Go Ask Alice.
Tema[]
Birthing Addicts trata sobre la planificación parental sin esfuerzo y sobre las madres que descuidadamente dejan que sus hijos tomen malas decisiones, comportamientos y hábitos. Representa a los hijos de estas madres como mimados y propensos a caer en prácticas nocivas como fumar y drogas intravenosas. En última instancia, las acciones que no son detenidas por sus madres dañan permanentemente la vida de los niños con "pulmones negros gruesos", cáncer y enfermedad de Alzheimer.
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
Pupils begin to observe
Watching the waste on this earth
Mamas don't love their kids like they used to
Letting them smoke their herbs
Nails bitten down to the nub
Palms light on fire as they rub
Soup never reaches its boil
Dinner ain't the only thing they spoil
[Coro]
Let the maggots and worms infest your brains
Cut your memory off, Alzheimer's begins
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
I am the one who birthed you
[Estrofa 2]
Skin tearin' down to the bone
Freckles fall off as they're told
You realize soon your identity changes
No longer the person you were
No longer the person they adore
[Coro]
Let the maggots and worms infest your brains
Cut your memory off, Alzheimer's begins
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
I am the one who birthed you
[Puente]
Thank you mama for all you've done
Gave me cancer and thick black lungs
Left me rotting on the street
Rather shoot up than have food to eat
[Coro]
Let the maggots and worms infest your brains
Cut your memory off, Alzheimer's begins
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
I am the one who birthed you
I am the one who birthed you
[Outro]
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Mamas don't love their kids like they used to
Letting them smoke their herbs
[Estrofa 1]

[Outro]
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Letting them smoke their herbs
