Sink or Swim
Cybronica

Honey bees find nectar
In the flowers of the trees
Colors fade and petals fall away

The leaves unfurl with splendor
In a vibrant verdigris
Feelings fade and lovers fall away

The thawing melts the glacier
Of the ice queen’s agony
Emotions in a torrent
Sweep me up and out to sea

I will sink or I will swim
We’ll find out by the days end
By the footsteps on the bank
Or their absence down the riverbend

I could thrash or I could tread
Crest the waves or find the riverbed
Still the water flows around me
Wrapping ‘round my face and head

Sink or swim…

The dawn comes early to the sky
Sunlight streaming through the window
Softly pooling on the pillow
Where your head no longer lies

I will sink or I will swim
We’ll find out by the days end
By the footsteps on the bank
Or their absence down the riverbend

I could thrash or I could tread
Crest the waves or find the river bed
Still the water flows around me
Wrapping ‘round my face and head

Sink or swim…

I like the sounds. Again though, wish the intro was half as long. Nice backing vocals. Picking up. Vocals are really well done. While the melodies are still sort of like the others, the vocal brings it above. 1st pass.

some really nice harmonies here and good use of reverb to fill out the mix, it feels kinda soupy in a pleasant way rather than being muddy, and the piano cuts through nicely. Lyrics are effective although the "wrapping 'round my face and head" line feels a little clunky, it feels unnecessary to have both "face and head" in there and stands out to me on each repetition.
