BLACK SWAN Verse 1 White lace, split seams, mother’s perfect daughter Mirror says clean, but the water’s getting darker Tiptoe on glass like it’s choreography Every bruise rehearsed into mythology Powder my pulse, keep the halo aligned Smile like a saint with a fracture inside They love you soft, they love you small But they don’t stay for the fall Pre-Chorus I hear the violins tightening my throat Every note is a knife I wrote If grace is pain, I’ll overachieve Till there’s nothing left of me to believe ⸻ Chorus (HOOK) I’m your black swan, breaking my bones for the spotlight Feathers in my lungs, but I’m breathing it just right Perfection’s a drug and I’m high on the damage Kiss the blade, call it love, call it habit I’m your black swan, spinning till I disappear Pretty little ghost in a chandelier If I bleed, then I’m finally enough— Turn the girl into myth, turn the myth into dust ⸻ Verse 2 Lipstick like sin on a porcelain mouth Say I’m divine while I’m burning it down Rivalry tastes like a sugar overdose She wants my crown, I want her ghost Count every calorie, every mistake Starve for the art, let the body decay God in the wings with a contract to sign “Just give me your soul—just once, you’ll be fine.” Pre-Chorus Curtain call stitched into my skin I lose the war every time I win Applause like thunder, sharp and sweet But it never lets me leave ⸻ Chorus (HOOK) I’m your black swan, breaking my bones for the spotlight Feathers in my lungs, but I’m breathing it just right Perfection’s a drug and I’m high on the damage Kiss the blade, call it love, call it habit I’m your black swan, spinning till I disappear Pretty little ghost in a chandelier If I bleed, then I’m finally enough— Turn the girl into myth, turn the myth into dust ⸻ Bridge (BREAK / DESCENT) Crack my reflection—she’s staring back wrong Teeth in a smile that’s been sharpened too long Innocence dressed in a funeral gown I was the prey, now I’m hunting it down Skin like a stage, let it tear, let it show Every perfection’s a beautiful no Devil says, “Darling, you’re ready to rise”— I trade him my heart for a standing ovation tonight ⸻ Final Chorus (EXPLODE) I’m your black swan, holy and sick in the light Dancing on the edge of a knife fight Perfection’s a curse that I wear like a crown Watch it slip, watch me drown I’m your black swan, nothing left but the art Every feather pulled straight from my heart If I die, will you call it enough? Turn the girl into myth— Turn the myth into love. ⸻ Outro (soft / haunting) White swan in the mirror, she’s gone when I blink All that I am is the role that I drink Curtain falls quiet—no one can tell If I flew… or I fell.
