Lyrics Swallowing Light - Adam Watts

Swallowing Light

I’m an ocean, I’m a knife
Waves to drown in, and edges to fight
I try to keep it to myself, but heaven knows I’ll give you hell
Don’t try to console me, I’m a pain
Seeping slowly down the drain
I try to make this place a home
Beat the blood out of this stone
Swallowing light I’m at it again, strangling life, playing with sin
Saying You hurt me, knowing the blame is always in my hands
I feel like a liar, but that’s how the truth hurts
I’m tired of playing the loser, looking for mercy
Knowing the blame is always in my hands
Bonds a broken every time
Words are spoken, but they aren’t mine
I try to keep it to myself, but heaven knows I’ll make it hell
Swallowing light I’m at it again, strangling life, playing with sin
Saying You hurt me, knowing the blame is always in my hands
I feel like a liar, but that’s how the truth hurts
I’m tired of playing the loser, looking for mercy
Knowing the blame is always in my hands
