Lyrics

[Intro: Emilie Autumn] I will swallow I'll take a deep, deep breath I'll take a deep— I'll take a deep— [Verse 1: Emilie Autumn] 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: Emilie Autumn] Twenty years Sinking slowly Can I trust you? But I don't want to [Chorus: Emilie Autumn] 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 I will swallow If it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown [Post-Chorus: Perfidious Words] Swallow Swallow [Verse 2: Emilie Autumn] 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: Emily Autumn] Twenty years Sinking slowly Can I trust you? But I don't want to [Chorus: Emilie Autumn] 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 I will swallow If it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown [Post-Chorus: Perfidious Words and Emilie Autumn] Swallow I will swallow, swallow Swallow I will, I will swallow [Bridge: Emilie Autumn] 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: Emilie Autumn] Twenty years Sinking slowly Can I trust you? But I don't want to [Chorus: Emilie Autumn] 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: Emilie Autumn] 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 I will swallow If it will help my sea level go down But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown [Outro: Perfidious Words & Emilie Autumn] Swallow I will swallow Swallow (I'll take a deep, deep breath) I'll take a deep— I'll take a deep—
