Swallowed Up
Echoes of Self-Reflection: Swallowed Up in the Depths of Emotion
Lyrics
I wash
I cleanse myself
My hands in time for lunch but
Preparing for a meal
A light touch
A delicate touch
Fills me up enough
Satisfies me adequately
I counted one
I witnessed one
That swallowed up the love
That consumed the affection
And left the table unsatisfied
Leaving the table unfulfilled
I cried
I wept
When you got hung to dry
When you were left to dry
For all that's in my mind
For all that occupies my thoughts
I'll never understand why
I'll never comprehend why
We all need to try
We all must attempt
To reach inside our minds
To explore our minds
And find a deeper light
And discover a profound illumination
In the river where you drowned you're
In the place where you perished
Turning trauma into sounds
Transforming pain into audible expressions
Opened up and you gave out
Opened up and shared
Something too real
Something too authentic
Didn't know what you'd done
Unaware of your actions
But you put your paint on the brush
Yet you applied your creativity
Saw that it was made from your blood
Realizing it was crafted from your essence
Hurt yourself in the deal
Harming yourself in the process
Sky high
Soaring high
A world upon a wire
A world hanging by a thread
And in the shadow lies
And in the darkness lies
A long awaited trial
An anticipated ordeal
We all need to break
We all need to share
The bread upon the plate
The sustenance on the table
And I am guilty too
And I too am culpable
In the river where you drowned you're
In the place where you perished
Turning trauma into sounds
Transforming pain into audible expressions
Opened up and you gave out
Opened up and shared
Something too real
Something too authentic
Didn't know what you'd done
Unaware of your actions
But you put your paint on the brush
Yet you applied your creativity
Saw that it was made from your blood
Realizing it was crafted from your essence
Hurt yourself in the deal
Harming yourself in the process
