Swallowing Light

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
