Ownership Lyrics by Swan Wash

Shadow Shadow

0

​​through ownership, I can control every shade
Every contrary shade that lines the hall
They are tied to the floor and tied to the place
No matter what surrounds, no matter what the luck
Or how far up into the day
Through ownership, I can control
Every lost look and wayward glance
I may not know where they go, but I can see them preen in the hall
I won't be holding this back
Dingy lamplight, dingy museum
And I can see into spaces, an eternal inherent life
When engine cuts for decay
Did you see where it went?
Did you see whеre it went?
Or werе you holding it back?
Or were you tied to the floor
And tied to the place?
And will your contrary shade reaffirm
This whole thing when you are gone?
Through ownership, I took hold of these things
Preserving them there for everyone who sees
Their own shade in mind's eye
In the circular drive, in the terrible night
Or just inside closed up shop
There's an easy breeze through the screen
Through ownership, I take my leave
At the highest point of the idea
I fall asleep and see
That the one-story stretch at the heart of the thing is such height to fall
Now everything that fades when I wake
Through ownership I take
A perfect form, a thousand more
Sunset swirl, and wake when it’s dark
Through ownership I can feel
Where the railings are
