Just like a swan

There’s a scarlet mirror waiting by the pond

On the outer rim, diminishing, in all its fatal flaw

What if i could get a closer glimpse and not jump in at all

Could i sit and dry my feet out til i’m wrong

But should the wind begin to change

And all i have is my reflection and my name

I’ll let it drown the thought, i’m reckless and i’m strange

High from the willow top the mountain air escapes

Its caress is rough but so is my own grace

They said that i could find my peace, but i won’t fall for that

Most of the time i’m in a rage

Hopeful valentine, like frankenstein, i’m broken from my face

I sit to burn the string and watch the fire graze

While others form a bond, i’m crashing from the pain

If time is kind to rest my mind, i’m waiting to catch up

My friends are on the outside land, the pebbles watch me rot

But out here i am free to roam, and i could live with that

The wound is deep but i can fly

The blood can crawl but i am ever so alive

The mouth gets treated like a hissing rattle pine

The wound is sweet enough to cry

The rain is red but i’m floating with the sky

What if swans befriend my rust

Drag me in the moss to gain all of my trust

Open up my spine and scathe out earthly crust

Patch me up and let my sapphire turn to dust

I’m willing to give it a try

May my eternal life forgive all my goodbyes
