Swallow Smile

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I rise and curse the waking dayCurse the grime and curse the stains on the airAnd on the skin of the bed I'm tied withinHiding from the twitch and crashOf the mood I hear you hatchYou're the mother growing coldYou're the bath now running oldI can feel the wall between us separate the filthy sceneAs I push the door asideSwallow, swallow, swallow, smileI wander round the gulf between usWonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken boneAs useless, I'm a broken boneCome on, let's fight, let's feel aliveCome on, let's fight, let's feel aliveIt's the only feeling I've kept towards you that resembles any passionAny tremble, any word, I'll take and turn itTwist and pissed-on, I'll return itGive me more, give me, I'll swallow, swallow, swallow, smileBut it's alright, I lie. It's alright, here's another lieby: /dani_fx
