Half-Swallowed

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain streaks down the glass
Watching streetlights pass
Thinking of the years we amassed
Knowing that the die is finally cast
I’m a ghost in this seat
Walking down a one-way street
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m screaming in the silence
A peaceful inner violence
Defying logic and science
Of our unspoken, deep alliance
Oh, I should have told you then
Before the world became an 'if' and 'when'
[Chorus]
Half-swallowed truths in the dark
Left a permanent mark
I missed the flame and the spark
Now I’m drifting alone in the park
It’s a heavy kind of gratitude
Wrapped in a lonely latitude
[Post-Chorus]
(Breathy glitches)
Gone now
Moving on now
I’m alone now
[Verse]
Perfume on my sleeve
Hard to believe
That you had to leave
While I stay here to quietly grieve
Your boxes are all gone
I’m waiting for a hollow dawn
Tracing lines on my palm
Trying to stay unnaturally calm
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m screaming in the silence
A peaceful inner violence
Defying logic and science
Of our unspoken, deep alliance
Oh, I should have told you then
Before the world became an 'if' and 'when'
[Chorus]
Half-swallowed truths in the dark
Left a permanent mark
I missed the flame and the spark
Now I’m drifting alone in the park
It’s a heavy kind of gratitude
Wrapped in a lonely latitude
[Bridge]
Unlock the door to a room
Shadows in the gloom
The silence starts to bloom
Sealing up my lonely, quiet doom
Ten years of 'not yet'
A debt of deep regret
A sun that finally set
On the girl I can't forget
[Hook]
Don't go
I know
The seeds we didn't sow
Are all that's left to grow
Don't go
I know
[Chorus]
Half-swallowed truths in the dark
Left a permanent mark
I missed the flame and the spark
Now I’m drifting alone in the park
It’s a heavy kind of gratitude
Wrapped in a lonely latitude
[Outro]
