Cygnus, cold as a stone
troubled for bones of a love that was lost and has left you alone spotless, white as a ghost
placed in the black of a heavenly host so grave and unknown

red hands raise a new golden age fed scraps from the banquet they laid
could you feel anything when they circled their barbs and wire and pushed you aside?

witness your storied light a fate as a bronzed alibi penance their lucky star
but you’d give your place on the bright side for one night in his sky

split hairs for an arm and a leg
straw men left to shoulder the blame
could you hear anything when they praised you to rank and file then left you behind

white lies lighting up their night sky burning you alive
it’s the only thing they see by and it’s never gonna sit right

black hole stretching as the fault grows mangling your soul
a constellation of compliance it’s spreading in the silence


they don’t see you burning up
just another pretty light to wish upon final chapter, fitting end
sing your swan song with whatever you have left and pull the sky down on their heads
