Swan Song
A reflection and then a goodbye to a lover.

(Chorus)
This is my swan song to
A time when nothing was wrong
You were poetry and cinema
Hypnotizing me while spinning the
Reality around me like a carousel
A melodic aria that I knew well
A coupling read like a couplet
A vignette fleeting, beautiful
Moments every meeting
(Verse 1)
Lend me your ear though
My words may not matter
They must be said as I
Break and then shatter
I'm not sure what to do
without you to inspire
A stubborn moth loitering
Around your fire
Whose every dream, hope,
And desire
Is behind fences
Lined with razor wire
That keep me from
All the drive I'd require
Kissed by a pipe
But yours got me higher
(Pre-Chorus)
Dreams and life run parallel
With mirrors turned askew
But all my dreams of living
Are just dreams of you
I'll say this in vain
But still look into your eyes
Cause they take away rain
And bring light to my skies
Everytime words for you
Leave me with my breath
I'm reassured my life
Mattered before death
And that all diamonds in
My life were just bland
And music uncollected notes
Until you made them songs
I could stand
(Chorus)
This is my swan song for
Moments we'd act demure
Wrapped up in each other's arms
On my couch, unsure
Of what to think while
Perfectly in sync
In a way that was so pure
(Verse 2)
It's not arrogance for me
To know that you care
Without you I'm broke
With you I'm a millionaire
It's really just arithmetic
You suspect is just
A myth or trick
Discard your graphs
Disregard your theorem
Take all your calculations
And clear 'em
You can always change
What two things equal
When you rearrange them
For the sequel
Don't count this so
Strict and pedantic
Just count the ways in
Which we clicked
It's romantic
Hush, I'm in no rush
Fate always waits
It was you who said
We don't get to choose
Our soulmates
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm sure that all the time
You spent with me
Time will show was
Meant to be
I will gently take your hand
And roll the dice
It's worth a huge gamble
If I win paradise
(Bridge)
There is no suspense
I feel it so deeply
Like a sixth sense
Not to imply that I
Think it's a tryst with a twist
I just can't deny what
So clearly exists
(Chorus)
This is my swan song to
The only galvanic swan who
Wandered onto
My lonely pond
Hardly for a moment and then
She was gone
But leaving a light behind
That still shines on
This is my swan song
To a time when nothing was wrong
You were poetry and cinema
Hypnotizing me while spinning the
Reality around me like a carousel
A melodic aria that I knew well
A coupling read like a couplet
A vignette, fleeting
Beautiful moments every meeting
