The Swamps of Sadness Are No Place for a Horse
These flooded fields and snaking rivers
Entangle us between what flourishes and withers
I felt you changing me to see if I'd notice
You're the greatest tragedy from which I've never woken
Chemical-soaked iridescent misrememberings
The sky spoke in fluorescent beckonings
A paracosm of benevolent pain
A rose-coloured lens on a blood-red stain
The answers I seek laying just out of frame
You inhabit the dark, beyond the flickering flame
The most persuasive ghost I have ever known
You are my curse but you are my home
My most revered superstition, a walking shadow
When I look down the barrel, it's always you I see
Waiting to greet me there down a corridor of trees
Your great escape into this exquisite prison
This organically contrived waking dream that you exist within
They say mystery makes dragons on the edges of maps
So we'll haunt these lonely places and watch infinity elapse
When the floor was made of lava, we used to risk the heat
But now that I've grown up without you I just stay here in my seat
You were the kite, I was the tether but now I'm broken
Couldn't stop this storm from blowing, couldn't stop you from going
But I'll never let you die
Entangle us between what flourishes and withers
I felt you changing me to see if I'd notice
You're the greatest tragedy from which I've never woken
Chemical-soaked iridescent misrememberings
The sky spoke in fluorescent beckonings
A paracosm of benevolent pain
A rose-coloured lens on a blood-red stain
The answers I seek laying just out of frame
You inhabit the dark, beyond the flickering flame
The most persuasive ghost I have ever known
You are my curse but you are my home
My most revered superstition, a walking shadow
When I look down the barrel, it's always you I see
Waiting to greet me there down a corridor of trees
Your great escape into this exquisite prison
This organically contrived waking dream that you exist within
They say mystery makes dragons on the edges of maps
So we'll haunt these lonely places and watch infinity elapse
When the floor was made of lava, we used to risk the heat
But now that I've grown up without you I just stay here in my seat
You were the kite, I was the tether but now I'm broken
Couldn't stop this storm from blowing, couldn't stop you from going
But I'll never let you die
