Swing Low (demo)

by Paper Beat Scissors

subscriber exclusive

about

Recorded at the House of Miracles in Cambridge, Ontario during the Parallel Line sessions. It's a pleasant apocalyptic/claustrophobic track about the end of the world. I'm not done with this song, yet, so keep your ears peeled for future versions...

lyrics

Swing low white dove
This isn't enough
For all you stand for

Like sin to a saint
The benefit's leaky
So draw your own close

React like a dog
In a thickening smog
You'll call my number, yet

And ask for a change
But the summer's depleting
I'm only 4 hours away
---
Don't leave me in turn
The blindness can sicken
And all it goes with

Bright eyed in dismay
You're never the same
God's own, lightly

You're apart/a part
But you know it
You're a strength without a weakness
---
Don't smile like that
The sun won't come back
And the storm will carry on

Spit lightning and rain
You're never the same
As the broadside last year

Don't carry too far
the hope
'cos you're gone when you're gone
Now you're gone
When you're gone
