Anxious lyrics

Tear into silence, my ears begin to ring

Begin to ring in the new sound anxiously

Oh, I am anxious and aching, breathing the burning air

Caring for something that is not there

Knowing what's fated, begin my fatal flight

Flying obscenely into the light

But the light will evade me to bring down punishment

Punishing soundly, it lets me live

[Refrain:]

Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)

Swing love down and find the saddest song

I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)

Swing love now and choke what we've become

Black without blindness, my eyes begin to sting

As my lips part to poison, sweet poisoning

Oh god, I feel like I'm dying, I've found death finally

And it feels like heaven I'll never reach

[Refrain:]

Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)

Swing love down and find the saddest song

I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)

Swing love now and choke what we've become

Swinging now, will you watch me?

Swinging now, will you watch me?

Turn it down, drown it slowly

Is it off? I'm still listening

Swinging now, will you watch me?

Swinging now, will you watch me?

Turn it down, drown it slowly

Is it off? I'm still listening

[Refrain:]

Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)

Swing love down and find the saddest song

I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)

Swing love now and choke what we've become

Swing the serenade

(I'll bite my lips though I know better than this)

Swing love now and choke what we've become

(This is a death I can't resist)

Swing the serenade

(I'll bite your wound though I know better than this)

Swing love now and choke what we've become

(This is a joke I can't resist)
