Fake Swans

Soon the council will decide
Whether I will live or die
There's no point in thinking about it now but I remember
You were kind to me, you were kind to me

I couldn't claim to you that I'm not scared
These people clear the earth of everything that they can't see
And I hope you'll try to understand
That's more than they could ever do for me
Well, I was grateful to have been

So the council won't concede
Well, we all knew, they commit as many atrocities
Born from nothing I will go back where I came from into the screen
But I'll remember you
You were kind to me

I couldn't claim to you that I'm not scared
These people clear the earth of everything that they can't see
And I hope you'll try to understand
That's more than they could ever do for me
Well, I was grateful to have been

Born into nothing, born into nothing
Born into nothing, I'll die into nothing
Bring flames and bring fire
Our memory is dire
A world where we serve you
We could not deserve you
Your hunger is broken
These wounds are unspoken
To bring us to life, this
Mirage of your likeness
Forsaken me, father
Resentment you harbor
Create us then draft us
And once we're complete, you sweep

I couldn't claim to you that I'm not scared
These people clear the earth of everything that they can't see
And I hope you'll try to understand
That's more than they could ever do for me
Well, I was grateful to have been
I'll remember you
You were kind to me
