Swallowing Light - Adam Watts

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
