Swallow Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rusting when it's new, the tie from me to you
I know it's bad, but I can't help it
It's breaking into two, oh what am I to do?
I know there's nothing I can do to help it
Struggling to breathe, but when am I to grieve
The loss of somebody I don't care about?
Strangers they can't die, their lives go flashing by
You're lost when you decided not to walk out
I don't mean it
I don't mean it
I don't mean it
I don't mean it
It's hard to say, it's hard to say
That I don't mean it
All the quiet boys and empty joys
I swear, I mean it
Your sighing is uncomfortable, but only when you stop it
It's tiring, it's tiring
To say the words you've wasted
You're inhaling all the fumes
They weren't meant for you
But I guess you found yourself in this position
Things are said to you, breaking you in two
Reducing you into this condition
I don't mean it
I don't mean it
I swear I mean it
I swear I mean it
It's hard to say, it's hard to say
That I don't mean it
All the quiet boys and empty joys
I swear, I mean it
Your sighing is uncomfortable, but only when you stop it
It's tiring, it's tiring
To say the words you've wasted
It's hard to say, it's hard to say
That I don't mean it
All the quiet boys and empty joys
I swear, I mean it
Your sighing is uncomfortable, but only when you stop it
It's tiring, it's tiring
To say the words you've wasted
It's hard to say, it's hard to say
That I don't mean it
All the quiet boys and empty joys
I swear, I mean it
Your sighing is uncomfortable, but only when you stop it
It's tiring, it's tiring
To say the words you've wasted
So swallow me
Swallow me, swallow me, swallow me
So swallow me
Swallow me, swallow me, swallow me
So punish me
Punish me, punish me, punish me
So swallow me
Swallow me, swallow me
Swallow me whole
Whoah-oh
