Swan Song by The Plot in You - Album Lyrics & Tracks

[Intro]

Dear friend, I was thinking of you today

6 lines, 4 tries just to hit the vein

When I see your son I break

And hope he shares his mother's strength

 

[Verse 1]

'Cause your drip won't go away

Fell in love in a coma state

And my arms had carried you

The same ones will bury too

 

And we've buried enough

This weight was already just way too much

And your suffering soul (suffering soul)

Was a way to escape the life that you chose

 

[Chorus]

If you fall again, you're on your own

Untied my wrists, I won't sink with them

 

[Verse 2]

No tears fell down my face

I was loved in a crooked way

And my fears weren't aimed at you

'Cause you were strung every fucking day

 

 

Pray I cover these holes

These holes in your stories

I'm sick of them all

'Cause when the light shines through

All that’s left are the memories of you

 

[Chorus]

If you fall again, you're on your own

Untied my wrists, I won't sink with them

And when it's all through

You'll feel the somber truth

Loved ones had pulled away

Did what they had to do, did what they

 

[Breakdown]

Did what they had to do

We let you take everything we held dear

Gave nothing in return, so let me make this clear

 

[Chorus]

If you fall again, you're on your own

Untied my wrists, I won't sink with them

And when it's all through

You'll feel the somber truth

Loved ones had pulled away

Did what they had to do

[Intro]

And now I'm begging for your love

But know there's nothing left from you

It's all too heavy for my heart to lose

 

[Verse 1]

I guess the feeling was off

The tension extreme

I'd laid on a cross forsaken it seemed

Torn and ashamed

The cycle remains

I'm draining us again

And now I hold my weight like it's a thousand chains

I try to pull my legs to keep from sinking in

(From sinking in)

 

[Chorus]

And now I'm begging for your love

But know there's nothing left from you

It's all too heavy for my heart to lose

 

[Post-Chorus]

And you got me begging for your love

And you got me begging for your love

And you got me begging for a chance to prove

 

 

[Verse 2]

I stripped myself of my health, of my gratitude

You move in waves so I chase just to sink with you

If I'm just pulling you under, detach and move forward

And don't look back here again

I see the way, it's deepening

I hope you feel afraid, it's real again

We're losing it

So I keep holding on and on

Praying no love is gone

 

[Chorus]

But now I'm begging for your love

But know there's nothing left from you

It's all too heavy for my heart to lose

 

[Post-Chorus]

And you got me begging for your love

And you got me begging for your love

And you got me begging for a chance to prove

 

[Outro]

So maybe someday we'll be something

Maybe it’ll be alone

So for as long as I'm alive I'm giving everything to you

It's all too heavy for my heart to lose

[Intro]

(Tell me if you feel)

(How do you think I feel?)

 

[Verse 1]

Caught me off guard, I was chasing a dream

Feeling like a god, like I’ll die if I sleep

I could never fold, I was promised a fate

I'll be as your tongue, give me something to say

Tear into me now I don't feel the defeat

Speak if I'm allowed, don't give a fuck if I'm seen

My sickness had ruled me, my fortune erased

No one came before me, they grant me no grace

 

[Refrain]

Don't refuse me now

(Tell me if you feel)

 

[Chorus]

I can feel your skin

Nothing beneath it (Tell me if you feel)

Empty, full of spite

Let impulse decide (Tell me if you feel)

 

[Verse 2]

Render me useless, I'm sleepwalking

Hands do no good and you can't stop em

Don't recognize ones who'd die for me

I'll empathize if you stop talking

I remember when I saw the world so clear

Would give up anything if I could pause life there

I don't need a thing, don't need a voice on me

I just need this to stay

Will you?

(Tell me if you feel)

 

 

[Chorus]

I can feel your skin

Nothing beneath it (Tell me if you feel)

Empty, full of spite

Let impulse decide (Tell me if you feel)

Feel like you'll break me

Like you're replacing

Like you're awake in another reality

Go on and break me

You can't escape these moments alone cause you know I'm the enemy

 

[Breakdown]

You fell into me like a trap

I can't let you stay (I can't let you stay)

 

[Bridge]

Release yourself now

We won't make a sound

It's too much to undo

Refuse to consume you

Release yourself now

We won't make a sound

It's too much to undo

Refuse to consume you

(Tell me if you feel)

 

 

[Chorus]

I can feel your skin

Nothing beneath it (Tell me if you feel)

Empty, full of spite

Let impulse decide (Tell me if you feel)

Feel like you'll break me

Like you're replacing

Like you're awake in another reality (Tell me if you feel)

Go on and break me

You can't escape these moments alone cause you know I'm the enemy (Tell me if you feel)

[Verse]

Her body dangled from my arms, slowly starts to slip away

I'd gone too far, I'd fed into an aching soul

Believed the lies I told myself, and they took control

 

[Pre-Chorus]

(This image burned into my sight)

This image burned into my sight

I split my skin for the last time

So I just pace the room collecting myself

Contemplating the next move and oh I feel

There's nothing left here for me

Once again I'm my own worst enemy

 

[Chorus]

Face it, my shaking hands had nothing to give you

Lately, I don't see my face the way that I used to

Pierce my skin, drag my bones

I'll keep this buried in my soul

Pierce my skin, drag my bones

It's all much easier alone

 

[Post-Chorus]

Pierce my skin, drag my bones

I'll keep this buried in my soul

Pierce my skin, drag my bones

It's all much easier alone

And I’ll lose everything for you

(For you)

 

 

[Bridge]

'Cause you were whole without me

As I was self-destructing

And I just need you to know I tried letting go but nothing would let me

 

[Post-Bridge]

So here it goes, I’ll tell the whole world

It's been me, It's been me

I'm the sick one it shows

I mask what I can

Hurt the ones who had nurtured the man that I am
