"Swallowed The Sea" lyrics
I see that you've been treading water
No doubt it tops your list of problems
All jammed up
And when you lost your will to solve it
You swallowed the Sea
So I stopped all transmissions, yeah so what!?
So yeah, I did as I pleased
It brought no relief
Walking through the city, through the 508
Traces of the struggle, nips, kits, and shame
Smiled when I saw you, couldn't make you change
Now I wish I said I love you before you disengaged
See, I'm not the enemy
In spite of all the time you took from me, you thief
Effecting everyone, till you pack up and run
All jammed up
We've seen the future. Nobody comes out clean
Familiar with the outcome. Sickened by the scene
You killing you. It's killing me.
I write this letter to my dead friend
A sinners saint, he was the king of the west end
You always wore that crown of yours so gracefully
Walking through the city, through the 508
Traces of the struggle, nips, kits, and shame
Pity party hardly ever made much sense to me
A gathering of grieving and some semblance of peace
We'd trade it all for another chance to help you fight those demons, but I'm back again
Breaking bread with the enemy
I wore a smile so hard I shattered all my teeth
As I watched it eat
Saving all receipts
All jammed up
Did you surrender?
Damaged by disease
I still remember those voices telling me:
You better fix this wreck
You better make your peace in this life or the next
I write this letter to my dead friend
A sinners saint, he was the king of the west end
All jammed up
Alone in some cozy west end basement doing it, and all us in
I wrote this letter for my dead friend
I wrote this letter for my dead friend
With a smile so hard I shattered all my teeth
So I stopped all transmissions
Yeah, so what!?
So yeah I did as I pleased
Yeah, so what!?
I write this letter to my dead friend
A sinners saint, he was the king of the west end
All jammed up
Alone in some cozy west end basement doing it, and all us in
I see that you've been treading water
All jammed up
You swallowed the Sea
Brought no peace to me
No doubt it tops your list of problems
All jammed up
And when you lost your will to solve it
You swallowed the Sea
So I stopped all transmissions, yeah so what!?
So yeah, I did as I pleased
It brought no relief
Walking through the city, through the 508
Traces of the struggle, nips, kits, and shame
Smiled when I saw you, couldn't make you change
Now I wish I said I love you before you disengaged
See, I'm not the enemy
In spite of all the time you took from me, you thief
Effecting everyone, till you pack up and run
All jammed up
We've seen the future. Nobody comes out clean
Familiar with the outcome. Sickened by the scene
You killing you. It's killing me.
I write this letter to my dead friend
A sinners saint, he was the king of the west end
You always wore that crown of yours so gracefully
Walking through the city, through the 508
Traces of the struggle, nips, kits, and shame
Pity party hardly ever made much sense to me
A gathering of grieving and some semblance of peace
We'd trade it all for another chance to help you fight those demons, but I'm back again
Breaking bread with the enemy
I wore a smile so hard I shattered all my teeth
As I watched it eat
Saving all receipts

I wrote this letter for my dead friend

Alone in some cozy west end basement doing it, and all us in
I see that you've been treading water
All jammed up
You swallowed the Sea
Brought no peace to me
