lyrics

On the edge of
The swamp just sitting
With a look befitting
A monster to keep you out
If you feel in,
I'd try to help you, but I should tell you
That I may puncture through
You

Air is heavy
But I'm still breathing
With some dry heaving
Every now and then
They all pass me by
No one comes near me
And they should fear me
As madness swims below
Oh

Ooh, think that I can hear a songbird
Out in the distance, so far away
Ooh, I'm still hoping that she'll come near
And sing her song for me one day

Sunlight rains down
Lord knows I need it
And I want to feel it
But it's so much that I can't move
So, I'm stagnant.
Just looking around, lying flat on the ground
At least for the afternoon
Ooh

Anyone can be the songbird
We can change roles from day to day
Ooh, but I've been living in the swamp so long
Oh, please don't look at me that way

I'm exhausted and exhausting
But I know, darling, most of all
I'm exhausting
