Fake Swans

Soon the council will decide Whether I will live or die There's no point in thinking about it now but I remember You were kind to me, you were kind to me I couldn't claim to you that I'm not scared These people clear the earth of everything that they can't see And I hope you'll try to understand That's more than they could ever do for me Well, I was grateful to have been So the council won't concede Well, we all knew, they commit as many atrocities Born from nothing I will go back where I came from into the screen But I'll remember you You were kind to me I couldn't claim to you that I'm not scared These people clear the earth of everything that they can't see And I hope you'll try to understand That's more than they could ever do for me Well, I was grateful to have been Born into nothing, born into nothing Born into nothing, I'll die into nothing Bring flames and bring fire Our memory is dire A world where we serve you We could not deserve you Your hunger is broken These wounds are unspoken To bring us to life, this Mirage of your likeness Forsaken me, father Resentment you harbor Create us then draft us And once we're complete, you sweep I couldn't claim to you that I'm not scared These people clear the earth of everything that they can't see And I hope you'll try to understand That's more than they could ever do for me Well, I was grateful to have been I'll remember you You were kind to me
