Lyrics Simulation Swarm - Big Thief

Simulation Swarm

I tried to tell you, I didn’t know how to stay, you believe
She can see through, cutting at the silent clay, of relief
Beckon deep blue, fettered in the magnet sun, eat the gun
As it feeds you, spitting out the oxygen, once again
Once again, empty horses gallop through the violet door, follow red
Crooked courses, shadows in the moonlit moor, oh my stars
Winged creatures, galloping in the silk and height, like the last
Human teachers, machinery of constant sight, once again
We must bleed new, even as the hours shake, crystal blood
Like a dream true, a ripple in the wounding wake
You believe, I believe too, that you are the river of light
Who I love, that I cling to, in the belly of the empty night
From the 31st floor of the simulation swarm
With a drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
And a warm gush and I want to touch like we never could before
And I’d fly to you tomorrow, I’m not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore
I remember, building an energy shield, in your room
Like a temple, swallows in the windless field, very thin
With your mother, tall as a pale green tree, very wild
Bright as winter, rising with a prism key, and a child
To deliver, tangled in the blood and vine, is the first
Little angel, taken from the northern pine
You believe, I believe too, that you are the river of light
Who I love, that I sing to, in the belly of the empty night
From the 31st floor of the simulation swarm
With a drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
And a warm gush and I want to touch like we never could before
And I’d fly to you tomorrow, I’m not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore
I’d fly to you tomorrow, I’m not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore
Little Andy, soft in his newborn skin, only one
Little Andy, will he return again, I believe
We will renew, because there is no other, once again
Fall asleep with, our backs against each other
I believe, and you believe too, that you are the river of light
Who I love, that I sing to, in the belly of the empty night
From the 31st floor of the simulation swarm
With a drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
And a warm gush and I want to touch like we never could before
And I’d fly to you tomorrow, I’m not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore
From the 31st floor of the simulation swarm
With a drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
With a warm gush now I want to touch like we never could before
And I’d fly to you tomorrow, I’m not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms and take you to the shore
