Swallow Lyrics

close my eyes tight
hurt with this light
your devious mind
comes shining through to me
shining clear to me

head for home as the daylight grows
crashing to the floor
as a bitter sound rings clear
your tragic song i hear

happy thoughts and empty minds
can justify my reasons

no joy for me till the day
i can hold my head up
king in my head, hung in shame
swallow me

[ king in my head, hung in shame
i'm the original ]
