Departures – Swallowed Up lyrics

Swallowed up by another hollow year
Sleepless nights, just wishing it away
Just wishing it away

Swallowed up by another hollow year
Too many wasted hours
Trapped inside this dying love

Walking half asleep
Through all these woken dreams
Hoping one more step
Will take me where I want to be

So far away from this autumn of our love
And so far away from all the joy that I gave up

Inside this woken dream I dig out both my eyes
And lock away my tongue
Inside this woken dream I'd said all I could say
And destroyed our yesterdays

Sorrow swept through us
Hammered at the cracks
Until our little world
Had fallen apart

Clinging on so tightly
To our dying love
Clinging on so tightly
I brace myself for the worst

Hiding my red eyes
I place my head inside my hands
[X2]

Those red eyes
Give everything away
Those red eyes
Give me all away
I don't want to exist inside this dying love

This dying love has woken me too often
This hurtful love has led my heart to hide away

This hurtful love has woken me too often
This dying love has led my heart to hide away

I don't want to exist inside this dying love
I don't want to exist inside this hurtful love
