The Swellers Album

Uncovered hands are freezing
I swear its colder than its ever been
And I miss the feeling
Theres cars along this shit street
I don't recognize
I'll stay outside and watch the walls fall harder than the last time

In the morning when you wake up
If you change your mind, I'll understand
Just try to let me know
I'll still keep the motor running

With all these bodies empty,
I'm sickened I can't see through some
My home away from home
The faces change but all the songs remain the same
It hurts sometimes to know what we once loved was left behind

In the morning when you wake up,
If you change your mind, I'll understand
Just try to let me know
LyricsI'll still keep the motor running

Uncovered hands are still freezing
I know its colder than its ever been
And nothing radiates
The arches glow but they will never shine the same At least to me So comes the exodus. My family In the morning when you wake up, If you change your mind, I'll understand But I know who I am I'll still keep the motor running In the morning when you wake up In the morning when you wake up In the morning when you wake up

VERSE 1
Everyone is in the gray
And I don't care if anyone's two faced
I'm sleeping
Don't plan on checking in

VERSE 2
I try to greet troubles with apathy
Hello's are never what they used to be
I'm heaving
Help me down the drain
Do you even remember me?
I'm leaving
You're way gone

CHORUS
Constant reminder
Sounds like you need help reminding
Locked on, I'm dead on
Sounds like you need help reminding

VERSE 3
All I know is made by human beings
So I can't put my faith in anything
I'm sleeping
Don't plan on checking in
But I wonder where the hell you've been
I'm leaving
Gone

CHORUS
Constant reminder
Sounds like you need help reminding
I'm locked on, I'm dead on
Sounds like you need reminding

BRIDGE
I'm used to breaking bottles when you ruin this
It's what I do
This isn't just goodbye
This is me forgetting you

CHORUS
Constant reminder
Sounds like you need help reminding
Locked on, I'm dead on
Sounds like you need reminding

The flood carries us away
I'll hold my breath for other days

I won't make this wager, where's the light for me
Now that you've raised the stakes?
And they're always waiting. Fuck waiting!
My hands are surface bound
The rest stays under water

The flood carries us away
I'll hold my breath for other days
And when I hear that voice and everything's okay
Then I'll pray the world my soul to take

With my philosophy expelled, it'd take a saint to give me hell
And I don't know what's real
I'm deteriorating, the most hated
Drown without a sound
True hearts and minds are sinking

The flood carries us away
LyricsI'll hold my breath for other days
And when I hear that voice and everything's okay
Then I'll pray the world my soul to take

Suddenly, it hits me that there's something out there for us
But I can't breathe, and I can't shake this sick feeling. I'm half alive.
Suddenly, it hits me; a feeling I've never known.

The flood carries us away
I'll hold my breath for other days
And when I hear that voice and everything's okay
Then I'll pray the world my soul to take
Then I'll pray the world my soul to take

VERSE 1
So this is what it's like to be human
And I should know
A second never felt so long
I tried to put the pieces in their place
Not a man or god,
but somewhere in between;
The body's a machine

CHORUS
It takes a toll too high to see another life
Flash before your eyes
The highway won't just stop itself
If you're alive
There's no more time to think of the might-have-beens
As the old ship sinks
A new horizon waits
But not today

VERSE 2
I try to pull myself together
I'm just used to seeing the chest rise and fall
Point taken, man, just breathe again
Hitting the brakes so hard
at the sight of blood and steel
It tends to make things real


CHORUS
It takes a toll too high to see another life
Flash before your eyes
The highway won't just stop itself
If you're alive
There's no more time to think of the might-have-beens
As the old ship sinks
A new horizon waits

BRIDGE
They told me I'd see angels
In their place flashing lights
I'm seeing my mirror image in pieces
No sound, but can you hear me?
I'm screaming out my lungs
I don't believe this
I hope you hear this

CHORUS
It takes a toll too high to see another life
Flash before your eyes
The highway won't just stop itself
If you're alive
There's no more time to think of the might-have-beens
As the old ship sinks
We have mountains to climb
This is my Everest

No more dreams of the southwest
I just got a taste
And a little dust from every state
Caught underneath my shoes
That'll never wash away

I'm no stranger to the rust
We made this with our hands
From a billion other grains of sand
I'd rather have gray skies
Spotlights can burn through any man

Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now

There are no promises out there
Maybe I can't see straight
It eventually evaporates
LyricsGot a slight change of plans
I'll call some good friends of mine
I'm never going back
Or at least for some time
And first a train off track
I'll come back like an avalanche

Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now

I'll find myself
I'll find myself

Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now

Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now

I made it out, you feel in
The deeper the well, the thinner the skin
The worse the wound, bigger the pill
Rebuild, repent
Keep baskets filled

And I know it is all the same
It is all?

Surrounded by hope, a lost campaign
Forever in debt to hot blood, nature beats the sane
Close bloodshot eyes, don't breathe the air
You know the lines and I know it is all the same
You'll never change

No results when talking to brick walls
No guilt trip can compare to this one
It is all?

When you're on top of the world
I'll be waiting for your fall
To relieve the king of the crowd is to finally save us all
And send a message to the weak and socialized

No results when talking to brick walls
No guilt trip can compare to this one
It is all the same

False alarm, theres no sympathy for time cut short
The mind is numb to the feelings hooked on life support
To sustain this dead world
Brain alive with faulty wires that run their eyes

Lost in hotels with Bibles under TV guides
Kill them all and hope things get much better
Were all addicts looking for the next fix

Why do we always stare into the headlights?
We can only burn the witch one time
Were falling like power lines
Its too late to start over

Burned alive, but one at a times not fast enough
Adrenaline pumps from the silent screams they hear from up above
Kill them all
And let God make more killers
Its entertainment for the massive empty graves

Why do we always stare into the headlights?
LyricsWe can only burn the witch one time
Were falling like power lines
Its too late to start over

Sanding wide eyed, they get chills
Waiting for the next one
To burn down

Whats at stake is more than just the martyr
Its us all
Even as heat rises, well watch some smoke fall

What if the departed hoped to be something while you were pointing fingers like a gun?
Is it so hard to see both sides of this?
Your answer is not the only one
You are not the only one

Might be too late, but now I'd love to hear your voice
Reading words can only do so much for me
You're out of touch and I'm not even reaching out
Give me something real, give me something real

I'd put the whole world in reverse for you
Retrace the steps that I once thought I knew
The less I sympathize
The less you pull through
Again I'll try, yeah

I'll call you at a better time
To let you know that everything's alright
Now theres no excuse
When it all come down to size
I never meant to keep you waiting

Another page from the calendars ripped out
The clock stopped ticking
I no longer hear a sound
Lost track of days
LyricsWasting away as time goes by
Slowly finding out what really matters to me now

I would put the world on pause for you
And notice things you never thought I knew
The less I sympathize
The less you pull through
Again I'll try, yeah

I'll call you at a better time
To let you know that everything's alright
Now theres no excuse
When it all come down to size
I never meant to keep you

The less I sympathize
The less you pull through
But I still try, yeah

I'll call you at a better time
To let you know that everything's alright
Now theres no excuse
When it all come down to size
Now theres no excuse
When it all come down to size
Now theres no excuse
When it all come down to size

Six of us pack in the car and stare out at the stars
Wondering if you're up there
When I heard the news I went numb
At first in denial but somehow, I knew

Don't look down
Set yourself up for falling
Don't look back; the past is never good enough
Don't look up, you won't find answers in the clouds
Keep looking where your eyes are looking now

Death, another waste of plans.
I'm shaking I can't stop my hands.
I'm writing words, but I still lost my voice.

Shoved in the back room with old friends, we had no choice.
I never thought I'd see you here.

I don't have clothes for days like these.
I never thought they'd come to me.
But I'm still here.
It wasn't hell that turned you black.
The ashes did when you got back.
I'm sorry.

The same six at all the shows.
But now that it's a funeral, the room is overflowed.
So good of you to finally show support when the admission's free.
And the congregation shows their gratitude.

I don't have clothes for days like these.
I never thought they'd come to me.
But I'm still here.
It wasn't hell that turned you black.
The ashes did when you got back.
I'm sorry.

Would you have you said "Father" said you'd say?
It's hard to set words straight once you're away.
They made you speak out of your lifeless mouth.
I read words you wrote when you were around.
You'd want to be a tree, strong in the ground.
And you would've said...

"Keep looking where your eyes are looking now..."

Hey, do you remember me?
Fuel from the will has never run so well.
When all the assholes follow suit
This is my defense; it just makes more sense
To do less than one is doing now
Will do more for a goal
Than anyone can stomach giving up
Reiterate it one more time
I'm nothing

I feel responsibility to say whats on my mind
This is more than a dream
Get shit on to give a shit
The least American
The new minority

Then theres you, the pointer boy for truths
A spark can start it all
Without your doubt, theres not much we can't do
Reiterate it one more time
I'm nothing, I'm nothing

Find comfort in fiction
Your story has been incomplete all along
How safe do you feel with your mind closed?

I've been looking through the glass
I can barely see, its too fogged up
Between the trees, the cold has taken all the leaves
Soon I'll watch another branch fall off

Would you believe I'm not just killing time?
I've got a lot of things to do, yeah

We won't stay here too long, but well be here again
And don't forget, we know the way back home
We won't stay here too long, but well be here again

I've been slipping through the cracks
When I show up without my bed, they'll have my back
I'll keep warm in the mitten state
I got more brothers across the lake
And the Chicago city water helps me sing
Home is where the hardest goodbyes are
My heart is in everywhere I've been

We won't stay here too long, but well be here again
And don't forget, we know the way back home
We won't stay here too long, but well be here again

Thank you my friends, you have been far too kind
When we set sail, we are not leaving you behind I'm not leaving this behind
