lyrics

I am a movement of swallows do what you want
I am taking my time to get to the point
I am a maiden of honour
I do not walk in the rain for fear of the dark
I would not call this disaster
I can not see through the walls to know who you are

I don’t want to say
I’m losing my way

Time breeds emotions to follow
Taking your time to resolve to get to the point
I do not walk in the rain for fear of the dark
I am removing my head from the fray, do my part

I don't want to say
I’m old and awake
I don’t want to learn
Again and again and again and again

I could not know what you’re after
Age is emotional grace a movement of soul
I am a maid of disaster
I do not curl myself away from the breeze

I don’t want to say
I’m losing my way
I don’t want to learn
Again and again and again and again

(Fit to say all these white lies they're burning me from the inside)

I am a maid of honour
I do not share who I am
I am a mood made of swallows
I do not tell what is after for fear of the dark

I don’t run away
I won’t fade away
I don’t want to learn
again and again and again

(I’m on a stage full of your pretence and promises and I’m burned out and I’m tired)
