Paper Swans

Calling off the inevitable
Rain on our paper swan
Only a passer-by that queries the time
Brings your glance back to mine
So sad, seems obscene
The hinges coming off
Too many things appear beautiful
Too many things they fade away
Violins play laughing odes
at the loner who remains
Smoking lanterns
and moths that flee from
People clearing throats
Treading on a well worn thread
Bronze vibrations play slow
You said you want to try
You need a mind of your own
Too many things appear so simple
Too many things will have to go
Too many things appear beautiful
Could we ever go through it again?
Hey Polly give me a moment
No pretending we'll be friends
Too many things appear so simple
Too many things they fade away
Violins play laughing odes
at the loner who remains
Too many things appear beautiful
Could we ever go through it again?
Hey Polly give me a moment
No pretending we'll be friends.

Dear O

Dear O
Distressed in wonder
Dear O
Coming of age
Try, try, try as you might
Try, try, try as you might
May serpent woe fall around you
and pull out it’s bloody fangs
And you cowered below them
In a town where all the doors were locked
All this time
Through all this time
A secret that sank between us
You were older by less than a year
And your brothers rallied hard to find you
From around them we learnt to disappear
May serpent woe fall around you
And pull out it’s bloody fangs
When you had no choice
Queen of all beneath you
And you turned fear into fiery stone
And your brothers would build a ring around you
Beat the boys who would follow you to your door
