Swallow That - Superchunk

Spreading out

It could be tar

It could be blood

It could be not fluid at all

And if it helps you sleep

And if it helps you get to sleep

Swallow that

Swallow that until you’re full

I find it true

I find it to be true

That all your little deaths

Are more imagined than not

And if it helps you to live

And if it helps you to stay awake

Swallow that

Swallow that until you rot

It’s wrapped and tied

Just like it should be

It’s wrapped and tied

Enough to fool me

I’m pretty sure there’s someone near me

It’s just a body

It looks without life

It looks lifeless enough to me

It’s inside out

Like a carpet should be

Who helped with this one

I mean what brought this

Particularly to the floor

There is always a trigger

Things don’t just happen

They don’t just happen

By themselves

It’s just the wind

It’s just the hinge

It’s not an angry ghost

Closing that door

It’s wrapped and tied

Just like it should be

It’s wrapped and tied

Enough to fool me

I’m pretty sure there’s someone near me

It’s just a body
