swanskin – Ribbons Lyrics

Go on girl, give me nothin'
Fallin' ill, time and time again
Suffocate from the rooftop
Fall off
Pretend

Cacophonous whispers
Ugly words, prettier than me
My saccharine sisters
Give me
Nothin'

Begone, vile insect
Or rather, stay, that I may trample you to dust
You reproach me with your creation

Be not afraid
A trillion faces
Fluid shape
Unknowable
Be not afraid (Be not afraid)
Their thoughts consume me
Salvation waits (Salvation waits)
Be not afraid

Epidermal incision
Something lurks underneath the flesh
Sew the cut up with ribbon
Lab work
Blood test
Impossible schema
Facial features begin to glitch
Geometry fractures
Somethin'
Eldritch

(Haaa-ah aah)
(Haaa-ah aah aa-ahah)

Seeing double in a sex tape
She's doin' everything that makes me wrong
Tread quietly in our space
Come on girl, just play along
Tie the ribbons on your old dress
Into shapes we can understand
My avatar moderated
Craft a personhood to our demands

Be not afraid
A trillion faces
Fluid shape
Unknowable
Be not afraid (Be not afraid)
Their thoughts consume me
Salvation waits (Salvation waits)
Be not afraid
