Bees And Swans

(album: Ancient Transition - 2018)

Oh my colossus, I'm blind
But I can see this room so well
From our youth our fossils I find
Buried in lobbies of macabre hotels
Press your own foot on my own thigh
I fall in love with everyone I'm told
But when everyone I know is always on my mind
I find it's too much to behold

In a dream of lightness I'm blurring
Your heavy spirit into my spine
Is it a nightmare of merging
When all of you is me and all of me entwined
I don't know if it's wrong or better
When what's entwined will unwind and be gone
I could say goodbye to the Earth in a letter
But I'm still obsessed with bees and swans

Time it is strange and I would
Never find it I would
Never wanted it babe

Your timing is strange and I would
Never find it I would
Only edit this stage, ooh oh

Your timing is strange and I would
Never find it I would
Never wanted it babe, oh no

Your timing is strange and I would
Never find it I would
Only edit this stage

I carried on in another way
Everyone goes
I made a noise joyfully anyway
Everything knows
How could I not die every time
I think about the gift that the ancients gave?
Wild mare, curled hair, unfurled
The time that I'm alive, delighted in the world
Birthstone, first home, nude skin
An ancient gift to me, the body that I'm in
Dog bite, searchlight, some day
The mother of the earth tearing me away
Black cloth, cast off, all worth
The ancient gift to me back into the earth now
