Swans - The Beggar Lover Three Lyrics

Slowly, it's taking me over and eventually I'll be completely transformed
Diffused in the earth, or incinerated and vaporized
It's in the food I eat, in the air I breathe
It's in the people I love and they frighten me
I can see a black shadow shimmering just beneath their skin
Despite my love for them, there's nothing I can do for them, nor is there anything they can do for thеmselves
It's slowly encroaching, rеlentless
Its appetite is endless and will never be filled

Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepies, close your eyes
Close your eyes

To sing a song for you, daddy
This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack, paddy whack
Give the dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack, paddy whack
Give the dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

I can see it but not see it
I can feel it but not keep it
I can touch it but not hold it
I can be it but not know it
I can reach it, but won't touch it (but won't touch it)
I contain it but release it
I unfold it but won't see it (I unfold it)
I can breathe it but not taste it (but not taste it)
I will lose it, but I'll keep it
In the shadow, in the light pool (in the shadow)
In the reason for not being (in the reason)
I won't touch it, I won't hold it (I won't touch it)
I can be it but not feel it (I can be it)
I can steal it but not keep it (I can steal it)
I can break it but not heal it (I can break it)
I can see it but not see it (I can see it)
I can feel it but not keep it (I can feel it)
I can touch it but not hold it (I can touch it)
I can be it but not know it (I can be it)
I can reach it but won't touch it (I can reach it)
I contain it but release it (I contain it)
I unfold it (I unfold it, I unfold it)
Somewhere
No place - let's go! (but don't see it)
(I unfold it, but don't see it)
Nowhere
This place - let's go!
(I unfold it, I unfold it)
Reaching
Not being - let's go! (but don't see it)
(I unfold it)
Glorious
No one, no us - let's go! (I can touch it)
(I unfold it)
Hmm, let's go!
Hmm, let's go!
