"Swallow" lyrics

"Swallow"

Livin' like the days don't mean a thing
The hours lost on me
We all know the score
We ain't goin' anywhere we never been before
Waitin' like a dog in a car in the sun
For the light that's chasin' me
Let it swallow
To the cemetery song on the radio

Cause the cause is lost, the war is all we won
We stormed the gates of heaven and found no one
As the band forgot to play your favorite song again
On the night that you decided you couldn't carry on
Carry on without

Watch the lonely boy sing himself to sleep
With love and extinction on his mind
Like a melody
Like a pill you smoke to feel the god you cannot see

Cause the cause is lost, the war is all we won
And the sprawl became the rage in everyone
As the band forgot to play your favorite song
On the night that you decided you couldn't carry on
Carry on without
