Swing

I woke up today with a darkness keeping me cold

Wild bird flocks guarding my home

I don’t know what to do

My eyes gone black from the stolen heart that I gave to you

Darkness keeps me all alone

Darkness eats away at the place that we’re calling our home

I went to bed on a starless night

I took the bus downtown in the morning light

And hung your ghost from the power lines

Your crooked mouth trying hard not to say goodbye, goodbye

Saying ‘I won’t ask you’, ‘I won’t ask you’

Darkness keeps me all alone

Darkness eats away at the place that we’re calling our home

While you’re dreaming I can barely breathe

I tell you that I love you but you don’t mean shit to me

It’s like we’re living in a fantasy

And I’m watching you try to pretend that you’re asleep

But I won’t wake you, I won’t wake you

I know a place where we can go tonight

Where we can trade all of our money

For a homesick fade to white

You tell me that you never want to leave and

You hang your body from the balcony and swing

Saying please just let me, let me let go

Darkness keeps me all alone

Darkness eats away at the place that we’re calling our home
