Emilie Autumn lyrics : "Swallow"

(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 swallow
I will swallow)


I'll tell the truth: all of my songs
Are pretty much the $#&@ing 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
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 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 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 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
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 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


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


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 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
