Swallow You
Lyrics
Shot
You could've been an angel
Made of terracotta
You could've been a mannequin
Until you blinked
You could've been a fable
A trip on ayahuasca
Until you had me throwing up into the sink
But stay haunted
If you never let me go, I'll never be alone
And all I wanted
Was to take you in and spit out the bone
Cause though my lips have been all over you
I could never
I could never swallow you
Though I could touch you everywhere
I could never
I could never hold your stare
And though my lips have been all over you
I could never
I could never swallow you
And though my hands have been all over you
When I call you
I never get a hold of you
No
From when I said "I love you"
To when I couldn't kiss you
Every memory feels like a lucid dream
Now I'm living in a vacuum
With a public bathroom
Oh how I miss our singularities
Cause when you left my arms
I got whiplash
I got pulled back into my separate body
It's the second big bang
But it's getting hard to hear you
Over all the knocking
I guess I only knew you on the astral plane
Cause first, I fell in love at seventeen
And got my wind knocked out
Now I fall asleep to dreams at night
Where all my teeth fall out
Laying like a crucifix
I thought that you would be my exorcist
But God isn't convinced that I exist
Cause though my lips have been all over you
I could never
I could never swallow you
Though I could touch you everywhere
I could never
I could never hold your stare
Cause though my lips have been all over you
I could never
I could never swallow you
And though my hands have been all over you
When I call you
I never get a hold of you
What the fuck
I could never swallow you
I could never swallow you baby
This is a six minute warning
Press your hands into my face
So I can concentrate
Or all you'll ever be
Is beauty being squeezed
Through a telephone
Six in the morning
You can masturbate
While I meditate
Then baby, crawl with me
Into the great unknown
Where we can be alone
Into the great unknown
Where we can be alone
Fuck!
Though my
Shot!
Cause though my lips have been all over you
I could never
I could never swallow you
Swallow you
Though my hands have been all over you
When I call you
I never get a hold of you
Hold of you
Hold of you
Hold of you
A hold
Baby, crawl with me
Into the great unknown
Where we can be alone
Somewhere in the static
Of the rain
I thought I heard somebody
Say my name
And looking like a clown
I turned around
To face
My shadow self and I
We looked the same
So I said
"Am I the only one here who's drunk?"
"Am I the only one here who's
Having any fun?"
Now everybody's a hungry ghost
Am I wrong?
I guess you don't know who you are
Until you're gone
This is how it is
Who we are
(Who we are)
You know you are who you hurt
This is how it is
Head first
(Head first)
Until it goes in reverse
This is how it is
Who we are
(Who we are)
You know you are who you hurt
This is how it is
Head first
(Head first)
Until we're back to the dirt
Until it goes in reverse
Cause you're my blood
You're my blood
You're my blood
Cause I'm in love
I'm in love
