Lyrics

Swallowed

[Verse 1]

Come down from the ceiling

Oh, these pills were made for feeling

Oh, so divine

[Chorus]

I've got a lump in my throat

So I'll keep hold of hope

Oh yeah, oh yeah

I've got a lump in my throat

And it makes it hard to swallow

[Bridge]

That's why we'll crawl to walk for running

No, there's not so much more in store

That's why we'll never, ever divide

[Chorus]

I've got a lump in my throat

So, I'll keep hold of hope

Oh yeah, oh yeah

I've got a lump in my throat

And it makes it hard to swallow

[Bridge]

Telling me winning is now its never

Seems like nobody that really cares

Because they're just killing my time

[Outro]

They're just killing my time

Don't you know they're just killing my time?
