“Mocking Swing,” the final track, finds Black Honey transitioning back into dreamlike sound. With one guitar playing the melody for most of the song, it’s almost a lullaby. As Phillips begins to sing of “white noise on TV screens” and “wandering into the dark,” her trance-y vocals beckon to follow....
[Verse 1]
Like white noise on TV screen
You wonder into the dock
And I'm mocking, swinging 'side your house
A swamp poured hours whilst you were out
[Verse 2]
All the things I know you could do
You only love what's wrong for you
[Refrain]
And I'm mocking, swinging 'side your house
A swamp poured hours whilst you were out
[Verse 3]
And the mocking stood while everyone that you love
Is tearing you apart
[Verse 4]
How did the world keep on turning a wild blue eyes so unnody?
Now I'm soaking in the bottle glass, the end is unlocked
I know I don't belong here anymore
And you howl; they rogued just 'cause you chose to self-destruct
It's nobody else's fault
