  1. [Lyric] The Beggar (Swans)

    I’m sick of chewing at your heels I’m sick of licking up your spit What if I keep the power I give you? Will I then decide to live? The mud is sucking like a womb To pull my naked body in Without your eyes upon my weakness Will I forget where I begin? I am the stranger in your mirror I am a glove without a hand I am a body gently spinning Now...Learn More

  2. [Lyric] The Parasite (Swans)

    Breathe my breath into your head Righteous, pure and sour with death Here I am, just empty skin There is no way out There is no way in Crucified in fractured fields of blue All information is equally true Feed on me Feed on me Feed on me now Feed on me Feed on me Feed on me now Over the plain and under the seas Follow the lines: they all lead back...Learn More

  3. [Lyric] Will We Survive (Swans)

    [Intro] One, two, three, four, five, six [Verse 1] I'll drink the moonlight from your hands I'll swim an ocean filled with sorrow No, lover, please don't go We can crucify tomorrow Let the sunlight feed the air Let it fill our lungs with lies We'll be memorized by shadows But our loneliness will survive [Chorus] Na, na na na, na Na, na na na,...Learn More

  4. [Lyric] Unforming (Swans)

    Now I can’t feel my fingers But I’m trying to breathe Where do I end? I don’t think this is me Well, I think that I’m thinking But there's too much to know It seems that I’m shrinking While I continue to grow There’s someone inside me But it’s not really clear It seems that I’m changing But I’m not really here I can’t feel with these hands I don’t...Learn More

  5. [Lyric] Los Angeles: City of Death (Swans)

    Ah, we're drugged by the sun Here he comes, here he comes Just waiting to become Here he comes, here he comes Growing in a lung Here he comes, here he comes Gathering our tongues Here he comes, here he comes Tunneling the ground Swallowing this sound Injecting insect dreams That he’s singing into being Please open up your hands You woman, child and...Learn More

  6. [Lyric] No More of This (Swans)

    No more of this No more of this No more of this No more of this Neither rage nor fear Nor love nor bliss No more of this No more of this Now is the time to begin Now is the time to close me in Let the blue fires sing Bring the hammer down to break my wing No time to breathe No time to think Time to swallow the key It's time to sleep No more of...Learn More

  7. [Lyric] Paradise Is Mine (Swans)

    Now we lay In the mud In the sea Deep beneath And we wait Where we lay For the light For the seed Of a thought For a touch For your breath For your love To begin To unfurl To create A new world In the gash In the break In this place You animate Come to us Penetrate Come to us Animate Come to us From the muck Learn to speak Learn to fuck Tongues are...Learn More

  8. [Lyric] Michael Is Done (Swans)

    Now Michael is done Stripped bare of pretense Soaking his sheets While counting insects He’s a grid on the sun He’s the hate in the love Every hole is a leak When Michael does speak But Michael will win There’s a flame on his tongue His words are burnt meat To muscle and rend Now Michael will cloak Every raft in his moat To speak is to choke To...Learn More

  9. [Lyric] The Memorious (Swans)

    I see the turquoise lake spread out flat between the desert hills I feel the sun penetrate my skin I feel it melt the marrow in my bones I hear the engines grinding, relentless Crushing stone Crushing stone Giant steel insect arms rise up in clouds of rust Then they pivot and they groan As they violate and they thrust Down we ride into the...Learn More

  10. [Lyric] Ebbing (Swans)

    Under sulfur skies The drunken tides will pull us in Unfolding – but not breathing Upon your breast I’ll rest my head, in laziness Gestating – just dreaming But not breathing My swallowed tongue My wounded dove Your eyes are mine, occluding We’re sinking, just drifting Not breathing, but releasing In shallow ponds Within your palm There lies a...Learn More

  11. [Lyric] Why Can’t I Have What I Want Any Time That I Want? (Swans)

    When will time erase this stupid smile from my face? I still feel you in my veins, pure and refined, while I raged Questions are of no consequence Humiliations are easily subsumed In oblivion And indifference With a love that is malignant and true All wrong, wrong, wrong Wrong, wrong, wrong I am wrong in this skin But that’s where my need for you...Learn More
