Swallowing Swords Songtext
his heart is in the ocean

her mind is on the train

there's boxes in the kitchen

staggered pieces of the frame


she was moving forward

devoid of every outcome

no cigarettes, no doctor calls

no sex or drugs or alcohol



we are who we are

martyrs evolved

we are who we are

it's a fool's medicine


they will nickel and dime you

they will, in spite you

this machine will run your life

this machine complies

you were looking skyward

like her, like you, like i was

this dollar's worth a million now

your dollar's worth a try



you know it's all a lie

you'll wish that you had tried

you swore, like all your friends before

you'd never drink from this cup



and we are who we are

martyrs evolved

and we are who we are

it's a fools medicine

this is where the lies begin



you know it's time to settle down

you know it's down
