Warm sun feed me up I'm leery loaded up Loathing for a change And I slip some Boil away Swallowed followed Heavy about everything but my love Swallowed sorrowed I'm with everyone and yet not I'm with everyone and yet not I'm with everyone and yet not Just wanted to be myself Hey you said you would love to try some Hey you said you would love to die some In the middle of a world on a fishhook You're the wave You're the wave You're the wave Swallowed borrowed Heavy about everything but my love Swallowed hollowed Sharp about everyone but yourself Swallowed oh no I'm with everyone and yet not I'm with everyone and yet not I'm with everyone and you're not I'm with everyone and yet Piss on self-esteem Forward busted knee Sick head Blackened lungs And I'm a simple selfish son Swallowed followed Heavy about everything but my love Swallowed oh no I'm with everyone and yet not I'm with everyone and yet not I'm with everyone and yet not Got to get away from here Got to get away from here Got to get away from here Got to get away from here I miss the one that I love a lot I miss the one that I love a lot I miss the one that I love a lot I love
