Mute Swimmer - Song Against Examples (Preslav Literary School Remix)

RECKONING

EACH SECOND WE COME TO
IS A VICTORY TO BE SUNG
FOR THE EVER LOV’D DRAW
OF THE AIR INTO THE LUNGS

AND WHO IS IT YOU CALL TO 
WHO YOU REFUSE TO NAME?
AND WHAT IS IT I'M DRAWN TO 
FROM WHICH I TURN AWAY?
WHAT IS SHOWN
IS SHOWN TO AGE
AND WHAT IS KNOWN
IS KNOWN TO CHANGE

EACH SECOND I COME TO
I'M PULLED UNDER AGAIN
THE CRUSHINGLY FAMILIAR KNOCK
OF THE BLOOD IN THE VEIN

IF BY CHANCE I REACH YOU
AND IN THAT INSTANT DRAW YOU NEAR
KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT CLAIMS YOU
AND THAT ‘I’ AM DISAPPEARED

AND SO I SING
TO BE REMOVED
AND SO I SING
TO BE IMPROVED
AND SO TO LOVE
AND SO TO MOVE
AND SO TO CHANGE
AND CHANGE ANEW

ONE OF US - PT.3 (ENEMY)

I CUT HIS FACE OUT OF THE FRAME  AND FROM THE SCENE I TAKE HIS NAME IN LONELY ROOM AND SILENT PRAYER  AND IN THE MIRROR STANDING THERE   THE OLD ENEMY  THE OLD ENEMY  IN THE REFLECTION I SEE  THE OLD ENEMY AND ME   HE CLEANS MY TEETH HE COMBS MY HAIR  HE ACTS AS IF I WASN'T THERE  WHEN DAY IS DONE AND WORK IS THROUGH  I'LL SHOW HIM WHO'S IN CHARGE OF WHO THE OLD ENEMY THE OLD ENEMY IN THE REFLECTION I SEE THE OLD ENEMY

SINGER (One of Us II)

I AM NOT THE SINGER OF THIS SONG
AND I AM NOT HIS FRIEND
THOUGH I ABIDE IN ALL PARTS UNTRIED
FROM BRITTLE HEART TO FINGERS END

HE COMES TO YOU SO PLEASANTLY
HE ADDRESSES YOU SO PLAIN
BUT HIS TRUTH IS MERELY VANITY
THROUGH RHYME AND LIGHT REFRAIN

AND HE WILL CHEAT AND HE WILL LIE
AND HE WILL TAKE MY NAME
HE WILL DECRY ME AND DEIFY / DENY
AND SO EULOGISE HIS SHAME

SO I AM NOT THE SINGER OF THE SONG
AND I AM NOT THIS FLESH
THOUGH I ABIDE IN ALL PARTS RESIDE
FROM WEARY FEET TO MEASURED BREATH
