Golden Swan

[Intro]
Gold on my neck
Gold in my cup
Gold when I step
Still it ain’t enough (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Pulled up shining, chrome on the dawn
Whole room staring like, “what is he on?”
Smile for the story, hurt when it’s gone
Heart on display like a gold swan
Private room, velvet on the wall
You said you’d stay, then you missed my calls
Bottle after bottle just to feel that calm
Dripping in the pain, dressed up in a charm
[Chorus]
I’m that golden swan in the middle of the flood
Diamonds on my wings, but I’m sinking in the mud
Everybody cheers while I’m bleeding through the gloss
Flying over love, but I’m terrified of loss (oh yeah)
I’m that golden swan, can’t wash off the shine
Dancing on the edge of your goodbye every night
If I spread these wings, if I let you see the scar
Would you hold me in the dark, or just praise the way I spark?
[Verse 2]
You love the section where the lights all bend
Say you love me, do you, or the way I spend?
Kisses taste sweet, then they cut my skin
Every time you leave, I just dive back in
Mirror on the ceiling, can’t escape me
See a lonely king in a crowded suite
Tears in the tub with the champagne foam
Rich in every room, bankrupt at home
[Chorus]
I’m that golden swan in the middle of the flood
Diamonds on my wings, but I’m sinking in the mud
Everybody cheers while I’m bleeding through the gloss
Flying over love, but I’m terrified of loss (terrified)
I’m that golden swan, can’t wash off the shine
Dancing on the edge of your goodbye every night
If I spread these wings, if I let you see the scar
Would you hold me in the dark, or just praise the way I spark?
[Bridge]
[Beat filters, vocals more distant]
Look close
Can you see the rust under all this gold? (woah)
Same soul
New chain, same hole I fall into
[Beat slams back]
If I lose this glow, would you still be mine?
If the crown falls off, would you stay this time?
[Chorus]
I’m that golden swan in the middle of the flood
Diamonds on my wings, but I’m sinking in the mud
Everybody cheers while I’m bleeding through the gloss
Flying over love, but I’m terrified of loss
I’m that golden swan, can’t wash off the shine
Dancing on the edge of your goodbye every night
If I spread these wings, if I let you see the scar
Would you hold me when I crash, or just praise the way I spark?

rap, Melodic sing-rap over silky trap-R&B groove, heavy Auto-Tune male vocals. Smooth keys and airy pads in the verses, deep but soft low-end and skittering hats. Hook explodes with stacked harmonies and a glossy top-line, ad-libs splashing around the lead. Bridge strips to filtered drums and reverb-soaked vocal runs before a final, triumphant chorus., r&b, smooth, beats
