Black and Blue Swan

Don't check the body
Don't even look
Read the censored ending to your book
It's bad enough as it is
Why make it worse?
You told the masochist, "This is gonna hurt"

I can't fly back to flawless
Can't change the winds on the River Styx
There's no one left to see I'm black and blue
Or remind me of the good I might do

If you feel faint at the sight of gore
I'd rather not reveal anymore
Why are you punishing me for doing the work?
If you want your white swan back, you'll have to kill me first

I can't fly back to flawless
Can't change the winds on the River Styx
There's no one left to see I'm black and blue
Or remind me of the good I might do

Just me
Me alone
The ice is thin
I can't go home
It's far too dark for me to see and I can never stay asleep
I'm terrorized by the difference between us
The distance grows each time that you refuse to digest the ugly truth

I can't fly back to flawless
Can't change the winds on the River Styx
There's no one left to see I'm black and blue
Or remind me of the good I might do
If you want your white swan back, you'll have to kill me first
