White Swan Falls Songtext
von Ludlow

Following the bread crumbs
Where they′re leading to
Lines of fallen feathers
Sweeping them together in a pile

Hear the falling water
Underneath the pines
Racing back to chaos
Pushing through the delta to the wild

Even when the nights have meaning
Wake and watch a white swan leaping
Off the tops of buildings
Spreading out her wings before she falls

Cult of Aphrodite
Rose and scallop shell
All the people pining
Sad and syncretizing all they need


Sleeping on a land mine
Fucking in their furs
Sticking to the roadside
Climbing Mount Olympus to the peak

Then she falls, and she falls, and she falls, and she falls

Burning like a bright star, beaming
Even when the lights are leaving
Cover up my pale white
Waiting out the daylight 'til she calls

Even when the nights have meaning
Wake and watch a white swan leaping
Off the tops of buildings
Spreading out her wings before she falls

Keep the little traces
What she leaves behind
Fool-proofing her leaving
Enough to hold me over when she′s through

Necklace on the nightstand
Strands of long brown hair
Carving out the memories
Talking to a ghost across the room


Laying here to just be near ya
Cuddling a cold chimera
Breathe on me your fire
Hiding my desire in the walls

Even when the nights have meaning
Wake and watch a white swan leaping
Off the tops of buildings
Spreading out her wings until she falls

And she falls

Then she falls, and she falls, and she falls, and she falls
