LYRICS
Warm sun, feed me up and
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 just wanted to be myself
Hey you said that you would love to try some
Hey you said you would love to die some in the middle of a world on a fish hook
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 every one and yet not
I'm with everyone and you're not
I'm on everyone and yet
Piss on self-esteem
Forward
Busted knee
Sick head
Blackened lungs
And I'm a simple selfish son
Swallowed followed
Swallowed oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
Got to get away from here
I miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot.
Oh Yeah.

That's all.
