I shut and locked the front door 
No way in or out 
I turned and walked the hallway 
And pulled the curtains down 
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around 
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound 

I'd stay but my last cab left me 
Ignored all my rounds 
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls 
They were upside down 

I swallow my words to keep from lying 
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I.. 
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving 
I surfaced when all of my pen wasn?t writing 
I'm in hiding           {4X} 

It's been about three days now 
Since I've been aground 
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now 
It's funny when things change so much 
It's all state of mind 

I swallowed my words to keep from lying 
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I, I? 
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving 
I surfaced and all around me was enlightened 
Now I'm in hiding       {8X}
