Swollen

Swollen Lyrics & Chords

I guess my body’s just swelled

swollen. from all the beatings

It’s like an awesome party

but a party with a thousand crashes

I’m like that drunk driver

Just coming home from a good time

But ending up with damaged limbs, broken inside

Not a hangover or a tired morning

Just bad luck with a damaged person

I guess it’s easy to keep it in

Suck the pain and heal the bruise

But after a while it gets loose

And I’m just another swelled dude

Suck the pain and heal the bruise

But what’s the point when the pain’s loose

Just another soul to lose

Just another body to bruise

Cut the skin and break my bones

But this shattered body ain’t gonna hold

All that bottles up just seeps through

Like a million cracks in this swollen dude

I’m that drunk driver that ends up broken

Stuck in a crash that nobody chooses

Now I’ve lost my soul, my mind

All because I destroyed his life

I’m stuck hollow with a great regret

Stuck swollen with all the pain I kept

All I wish is to make it right

All I wish is that I was sober that night

But I guess the dead never rise

I guess this pain never dies

And everything I saw that night

Ain’t worth the fun this time

I’m just another swelled dude

Broken by this man’s stare

As he took his lasts breaths

I realized that I caused death

My body may have been injured

But this man was murdered

And all the pain I kept inside

Doesn’t describe the sight

Tears never fixed the situation

It just broke me free of intoxication

I mean this man just died by my side

And I was only left to cry

And yeah, I ran to save my life

All ’cause I was scared to make the sacrifice

Stuck behind bars guilt free

I guess that wasn’t the life for me

So, I guess it was easy to keep it in

Suck the pain and heal the bruise

But after a while it got loose

And I’m just another swelled dude

Suck the pain and heal the bruise

But what’s the point when the pain’s loose

Just another soul to lose

Just another body to bruise

And what now with an empty shell

Do I just keep living like what the hell

Nah, I think it’s harder this time

No one’s ever meant to die

I keep saying just live your life

But what of all the damage inside

I guess that’s why you said good night

Because it’s just never worth the fight

But sorry to say it feels the same

A drunk driver with a bad mood

All ending up with a dead dude

All ending up with a swelled bruise

’Cause whether or not I tell the truth

The pain is never felt like the swollen dude

And I guess I just relate

Like that drunk driver and that man’s fate

But I guess you can’t imagine the pain

I guess you can’t picture what I feel

You can’t picture it unless it’s real

But what if I said I wasn’t sober

Does that make you the man murdered?

At least that’s how I see it, if not

It’s because I didn’t hit you hard enough

But I shouldn’t have even took the punch

I shouldn’t have fought back with a hard smack

But suck the pain and heal the bruise

‘Cause we were the one’s meant to lose

Stuck with the cuts and the bruise

All because I’m the swollen dude
