Swans

Swans is an American post-punk band originally active from 1982 to 1997, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. The band was one of the few groups to emerge from the early 1980s New York No Wave scene and stay intact into the next decade. Formed by Gira in 1982, Swans employed a shifting lineup of musicians until their dissolution in 1997.

While drinking your lake
While sucking your star
The closer I come, the further you are
There is no constraint, there is no because
There is no reward
But there's a place just for us
Run your hands through my soil
Feed your blood through my skull
I'll fold back my skin and wash me with oil
White bird in your mouth
Chewed powder of time
Now scattered in clouds over
Fields washed with lime

I am asking you this i am asking you this
What made us like this?
Who made us like this?

While stealing my dreams
While clawing my skies
Please open my chest, please curl in my nest
Or my tongue will turn black
From tasting your spit
From drinking the sweat from the
Dip in your neck infections they spread
They can never be fixed
Now I'm thinking your thoughts
You're wearing my lips
If God is around, ah, it's him that we kiss
While tying my binds you're asking me this

What made us like this?
What made us like this? I am asking you this
Who made us like this?
