Swingset Lyrics
I am here, take this
I can't feel anyway
I can't hurt, I can't bleed
But I can kneel as well as you once did
Deep inside I can feel the screams
Growing louder every day
Crying out for a new rain
Manipulate my submission
To push this pain onto myself
Mama said that she would save me
The angels said that they would save me
I can fly away
So why does the pavement look so damn close
I can't feel anyway
I can't hurt, I can't bleed
But I can kneel as well as you once did
Deep inside I can feel the screams
Growing louder every day
Crying out for a new rain
Manipulate my submission
To push this pain onto myself
Mama said that she would save me
The angels said that they would save me
I can fly away
So why does the pavement look so damn close

one of the saddest songs ever. who ever ones the cd, if you start reading the explination behind the song when he says the angels said that they would save me i guarentee you will start to cry. sad stuff
I don't have cd:(( anyway,song is great,what ever explination is. :(
its based on child abuse.
the last two sentences are just great! I can fly away So why does the pavement look so damn close?
That is a good line.
I like: Mama said that she would save me The angels said that they would save me
I think that was the saddest part.
the lyric book explains, so for all you who don't own the cd you should know, this is the short version. a kid is abused by his dad, his mom doesn't stop it. his grandma tells him that if prays for something he'll get it, so one night he prays for wings to fly away. next morning the kid wakes up excited, and he jumps out of his 2nd story bedroom window to fly away, and falls to his death, and then he was free. it paints a vivid picture of how horrible child abuse is.
The Day the Sun Went Out is just a beautiful album much like....umm... everything else theyve written
This is such a beautiful song, and it makes quite an impact on how terrible abuse is, especially if you read the explanation.. this song is soo sad and its my favorite boy sets fire song. i dont think i will ever stop liking it
this song.... it is the hardest thing to know that you cant ever really fly away...
