lyrics

Black Swan (Bottle/Darke)

On our journey through the process
Somehow we got to Churning day
A rupture in the myth of progress:
Behold the chart of exponential decay

Hold on in the time of Churning
To an unforeseen event
We’ve all run from the gift of learning
Another black swan could change our shape again

Flowing from the darkest mountain
We can’t let a crisis go to waste
In the shadow by the fountain
Relinquish what you thought you needed to taste

(We are Churned)

There is no other world than the one we’re in
There is no other tide for the time we’re in
There is no other world than the one we’re in
There is no other tide for the time we’re in
There is no other mess than the mess we’re in

After this initiation
Returning to community
This is not a simulation
We are alive to unfolding melody

So hold on in the time of Churning
To an unforeseen event
We’ve all run from the gift of learning
Another black swan could change our shape again

There is no other planet that we’re living on
We know one day that all of this it will be gone
