Swallow

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
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
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
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
