Swallow Lyrics

Eyes locked, face gets old, stares stay the same

Eyes locked, faces get old, the stares stay the same

The best lack conviction and the worst are impassioned

There's a punch in the guts whenever I imagine

That some could be better to wish above all

That my doubts could be killed by the start of the storm

The desperate truth is I won't look beyond thee

And I hate it when I see you creeping into me

Like I'm drowning in an ocean that's grey and dead

I find it harder and harder and harder to keep my head

Above the inane, control what enters my brain

You won't float forever, not in this day and age

And suddenly it hits in the lungs of my mind

A flood of the pointless, the vain, the unkind

I'm obsessed with myself

And upset no one else is

And goodness, it's drowned by my need to be noticed

And I get swallowed

Stuck with myself, just me, you and me

Cause objects in the mirror, they're closer than they seem

And whenever I'm here, you're sucking me in

Two heads, in hands, two heads kissing

And the more that my life carries me to the brink

Yeah, the more that I will need that face I never see blink

And like I'm drowning in an ocean, and I just can't swim

I find it harder and harder and harder to hold it in

Above the inane, control what enters my brain

You won't float forever, not in this day and age

And suddenly it hits in the lungs of my mind

A flood of the pointless, the vain, the unkind

I'm obsessed with myself

And upset no one else is

And goodness, it's drowned by my need to be noticed

And I get swallowed
