about

Mastery is inspired by the tortured protagonist in the Darren Aronofsky film “Black Swan.” The song, sung in the first person, describes the evolution of the artist and how the pursuit of perfection can lead to the “dancer becoming the dance” itself.

lyrics

Mastery
Like a fog in me
Twisting endlessly
Through the night I stumble
Blackened eyes
A hollow prize
No one but fear in the mirror

You see me
I want your gaze
Feed me with your breath
On stage up there I'm made of air
Vibration's all that's keeping me alive

You think you know
All there is to show
Then the door is closed
And the whispers gather
Indisposed
Nobody knows
How far you'll go
For that sweet dull thunder

Makeup lights
Bodice laced tight
Watch me lose myself
Eyes and hearts and blood and tears
How Art enraptures Life

Sound
Hold me in your wreath
All around and there'll be
Sound
The last thing to feel
It'll fade and there'll be...

Nothing left
Nothing left
All I was is all there is
Oh but it was the perfect performance
Oh yes it was the perfect performance
Oh yes it was the perfect performance
Oh yes it was the perfect performance

Sound
Hold me in your wreath
All around and there'll be
Sound the last thing to feel
It'll fade and there'll be
Sound
Hold me in your wreath
Sound
The last thing to feel
It'll fade...
