Swallow People Whole Lyrics
From the manger to the morgue
Strangers are born and reborn
Giving birth to the wages of sin...
and claiming it came from within
Within me there's a gaping hole
And it seems I'm last to know
And no one, or thing, can fill this empty space
that I've been pacing in
I fell in love with an empty place
But I want change
But I won't change
I can't feel a thing
The pins and needles sing...
"I can say it
But I won't mean a thing
Because I know you'll fall for
Each and every pretty word I sing."
Spirits spin me around once more
Sin if you sing the overture
That lulls me back to sleep
I swear I'm yours to keep
Consumed with consuming
And soon I'll Swallow people whole
I'll have back what strangers stole
If I can't find my happiness
I'll soon devour yours
I'll sing your weary head to rest
With my overture
Because I fell in love with that empty place
But I want yours
But I want yours
For it I fell
For it I fell so fast
For it I fell
For it I fell so hard
For it I fell
For it I fell so fast
For it I fell, I fell for it
We lose ourselves once more
Strangers are born and reborn
Giving birth to the wages of sin...
and claiming it came from within
And it seems I'm last to know
And no one, or thing, can fill this empty space
that I've been pacing in
But I want change
But I won't change
The pins and needles sing...
But I won't mean a thing
Because I know you'll fall for
Each and every pretty word I sing."
Sin if you sing the overture
That lulls me back to sleep
I swear I'm yours to keep
Consumed with consuming
And soon I'll Swallow people whole
I'll have back what strangers stole
I'll soon devour yours
I'll sing your weary head to rest
With my overture
Because I fell in love with that empty place
But I want yours
But I want yours
For it I fell so fast
For it I fell
For it I fell so hard
For it I fell
For it I fell so fast
For it I fell, I fell for it

Dude, I know you want to be the first one to post the lyrics so you can feel important, but don't do this crap. Please. It gives people false hope and really has no ultimate payoff.

This is what Brendan said about the song:
"They sort of touch on that feeling you have when you do something completely out of character. The feeling of a stranger living inside you and acting through you. This song is meant to set the overall feel for the record, and somewhat sum up the actions of the main character of the album."
this is my favorite song on the album "The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi"..i LOVE the beat in the beginning and then i love how it gets fast ahh! it's just so great!
