[Verse 1]
Staying with Alice, she's doing fantastic again
I'm just the mold in her living room, playing the funny friend
Late night, emotional, eating alone
Just worked out why I avoid going home
One day at a time, I am falling behind into underwhelm

[Chorus]
Black swan that I am
I'm sick of the damn chase
I'm saving a dance
For feelings I can't place
Mama, turn me blonde
Black swan, black swan

[Verse 2]
You said I like to romanticize 2008 (Hmm-mm, mm-mm, mm)
You called it what it is, the youth that I missed felt exactly the same (Hmm-mm, mm)
That's just the guy that I was and I'll be (Hmm-mm)
Dissatisfied with the nature of me
You breathe the smoke of my constant emotional state (Hmm, mm, mm)
Mm, mm

[Chorus]
Black swan that I am
I'm sick of the damn chase
I'm saving a dance
For feelings I can't place
Mama, turn me blonde, take my final form
Black swan, black swan
Lost where I belong
All the signs are wrong
Black swan, black swan
[Bridge]
And I'm so comparative
Tired of feeling it
Never free of it
Wherever I am, it's not where I should be
That's all it is
Still making amends with my personality
Contortionist

[Chorus]
Black swan that I am
I'm sick of the damn chase
Mama, turn me blonde, take my final form
Black swan, black swan
Lost where I belong
All the signs are wrong
Black swan, black swan
