aeseaes - Black Swan

Who said in my head I knew it
Flies creep to keep you down
Muddy the middle in static
Drying up the now

The greatest kind of love is a fantasy
I know I can imagine it true
And if you had a part it’s a part of me
Smooth and dappled hues

See it shining like a black swan on the edge of what you know
Warming wings of wax and feathers, all the things you can’t control

Bandage my body in blue light
Until I am twelve feet tall
Safe in the city of wan eyes
Where the war-mouths and weevils crawl

Praying to the goddess of white noise
Fill the fog with freckles of gold
Sleep inside the Sun as the air spins
With songs from another world

See it shining like a black swan on the edge of what you know
Warming wings of wax and feathers
All the things you can’t control
See it shining like a black swan on the edge of what you know
Warming wings of wax and feathers
I'm the one you can’t control
