She Lives - Swans

Now I just want to thank you

For going insane

Every second that you suffer

Is a loss that I gain

Every breath is a drain down

Down into a hole

And your mind is a shrinking thing:

It was crushed by your skull

Now you feel time unfolding

Deep in your chest

And your body’s expanding

Now there’s none of you left

So I just want to thank you

For losing your mind

Yeah you burned just like joan of arc

Purified by the flames

You re alive!

you re alive!

Now just want to thank you

For the light that you spread

And magnesium and sulphur

And the fear in your head

And I just want to tell you

You’re nothing so new

Every time that you touch it It’ll turn against you

Now your future’s a cold thing

Down in the damp ground

And your memory’s a lead room

Containing this sound

So I just want to thank you

For killing your mind

All the life that you bleed out

Well I steal it for mine

You’re alive!

you’re alive!
