Swallow

Lyrics

[Intro] I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown I will— I will swallow [Verse 1] I'll tell the truth: all of my songs Are pretty much the fucking 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 a chance to change my mind I wouldn't for the world [Pre-Chorus] Twenty years sinking slowly Can I trust you? But I don't want to [Chorus] I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down I'll take a deep, deep breath But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown [Post-Chorus] I will swallow I will— I will swallow [Verse 2] I don't want to be a legend Well that's a god-damn lie, I do To say I do this for the people I admit is hardly true You tell me everything's all right As though it's something you've been through You think this torment is romantic Well it's not, except to you [Pre-Chorus] Twenty years sinking slowly Can I trust you? But I don't want to [Chorus] I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down I'll take a deep, deep breath But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown [Bridge] 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 it 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 [Pre-Chorus] Twenty years sinking slowly Can I trust you? But I don't want to [Chorus] I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down I'll take a deep, deep breath But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown [Chorus] I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down I'll take a deep, deep breath But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown [Outro] I'll take a deep, deep breath I'll take a deep— I'll take a deep—
