[Intro: Emilie Autumn]
I will swallow
I’ll take a deep, deep breath
I’ll take a deep—
I’ll take a deep—
[Verse 1: Emilie Autumn]
I'll tell the truth: all of my songs
Are pretty much the fucking same
I'm not a faerie, but I need
More than this life, so I became
This creature representing more to you
Than just another girl
And if I had a chance to change my mind
I wouldn't for the world
[Pre-Chorus: Emilie Autumn]
Twenty years
Sinking slowly
Can I trust you?
But I don't want to
[Chorus: Emilie Autumn]
I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
I’ll take a deep, deep breath
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
[Post-Chorus: Perfidious Words]
Swallow
Swallow
[Verse 2: Emilie Autumn]
I don't want to be a legend
Well that's a god-damn lie, I do
To say I do this for the people
I admit is hardly true
You tell me everything's all right
As though it's something you've been through
You think this torment is romantic
Well it's not, except to you
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Autumn]
Twenty years
Sinking slowly
Can I trust you?
But I don't want to
[Chorus: Emilie Autumn]
I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
I’ll take a deep, deep breath
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
[Post-Chorus: Perfidious Words and Emilie Autumn]
Swallow
I will swallow, swallow
Swallow
I will, I will swallow
[Bridge: Emilie Autumn]
Low tide and high tea
The oysters are waiting for me
If I'm not there on time
I'll send my emissary
If I Photoshop you
Out of every picture I could
Go quietly — quiet!
But would that do any good?
Will it hurt? No, it won't
Then what am I so afraid of?
Filthy Victorians
They made me what I'm made of
The brighter the light
The darker the shadow
I don't need a minder
I've made up my mind
Go away
[Pre-Chorus: Emilie Autumn]
Twenty years
Sinking slowly
Can I trust you?
But I don't want to
[Chorus: Emilie Autumn]
I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
I'll take a deep, deep breath
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
[Chorus: Emilie Autumn]
I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
I'll take a deep, deep breath
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
I will swallow
If it will help my sea level go down
But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
[Outro: Perfidious Words & Emilie Autumn]
Swallow
I will swallow
Swallow (I'll take a deep, deep breath)
I'll take a deep—
I'll take a deep—
