Black Swan

My heart will no longer race 
Once the music starts 
Time seems to stop 
But If the music doesn’t resonate 
That will be my first death 
The black swan will ascend 
And if those moments now 
they’ll film it right?

The beat is pulsing 
Traveling to my ears 
Like my heartbeat 
Trying to escape from my chest 
An ocean of light 
Wanting a high tide 
But when the music doesn’t resonate 
It will be my first death 
And the black swan will ascend
