Swallow Lyrics

I'll tell the truth: all of my songs
Are pretty much the f*cking same
I'm not a faerie but I need
More than this life so I became
This creature representing more to you
Than just another girl
And if I had the chance to change my mind
I wouldn't for the world
Twenty Years
Sinking slowly
Can I trust you?
But I don't want to

I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
I'll take a deep deep breath
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown

I don't want to be a legend
OH well that's a god damned lie I DO
to say I do this for the people
I admit it's hardly true
You tell me everything's alright
As though it's something you've been through
You think this torment is romantic
Well it's not except to you I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
I'll take a deep deep breath
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown

Low tide and high tea
the oysters are waiting for me
If I'm not there on time
I'll send my emissary
If I photoshop you
Out of every picture I could
Go quietly quiet
But would that do any good
Will if hurt? No it won't
Then what am I so afraid of
Filthy Victorians
they made me what I'm made of
The brighter the light
the darker the shadow
I don't need a minder
I've made up my mind
Go Away

I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
I'll take a deep deep breath
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
