Swallow People Whole

From the manger to the morgue

Strangers are born and reborn

Giving birth to the wages of sin

And claiming it came from within

Within me there's a gaping hole

It seems I'm last to know

No one, or thing, can fill this empty space

That I've been pacing in

I fell in love with an empty place

But I want change

But I won't change

I can't feel a thing

The pins and needles sing

I can say it

But it won't mean a thing

Cause I know you'll fall for

Each and every pretty word I sing

Spirits spin me round once more

Said "If you sing the overture

That lulls me back to sleep,

I swear I'm yours to keep."

Consumed with consuming

Soon I'll swallow people whole

I'll have back what strangers stole

If I can't find my happiness

I'll soon devour yours

I'll sing your weary head to rest

With my overture

Cause I fell in love with an empty place

But I want yours

But I want yours

For it I fell

For it I fell so fast

For it I fell

For it I fell so hard

For it I fell

For it I fell so fast

I fell for it, I fell for it

We lose ourselves once more

You could say it

But it won't mean a thing

Cause you know I'll fall for

Each and every pretty word you sing
