Swan Song

Sometimes
I sigh

The river
Can hear me

I listen to their dull roar
Like L.A. traffic and porn

I wanted to be just like them
I wanted to be just like them
I wanted to be just like them
But my reflection is not me
Their whispers are not verbal
Sighs release the text
The river she lulls me
To sleep
With her melodies of crowd and pain
And pain
We are a dying city
We are a dying city
We are a dying city

Concentrate

It passes
Quickly

Like smeared colors of poison
This poison is leaking all over
The city
Can hear me
The river she lulls me
To sleep

We are a dying city
We are a dying city
We are a dying city

Crack an egg on your head let the yoke run down
Crack an egg on your head let the yoke run down
Stab a knife in your back let the blood rush down
Stab a knife in your back let the blood rush down
Spiders crawling up you back spiders crawling down
Spiders crawling up you back spiders crawling down

Concentrate
Concentrate
Concentrate
Concentrate

Children are crying
This city is dying
The river is sighing
These people are not me

I wanted to be them
It's not my reflection
It's not me
It's not me
It's not me
It's not me

Concentrate

Crack an egg on your head let the yoke run down
Crack an egg on your head let the yoke run down
Stab a knife in your back let the blood rush down
Stab a knife in your back let the blood rush down
Spiders crawling up you back spiders crawling down
Spiders crawling up you back spiders crawling down
