Swallowing Emotions

I swallow my emotions They make me feel sick Haven't felt shit since 1996 Where are my parents? Where are your kids? Swallowing emotions Just a little boy who was learning how the world works I learned to hideaway from my stepmom and self worth I'm sorry dad, wish you knew how bad it hurt So I tried to scream through a fever dream When my stomach starts to burn I swallow my emotions They make me feel sick Haven't felt shit since 1996 Where are my parents? Where are your kids? Swallowing emotions This is how we live Swallowing emotions This is how we live Swallowing emotions I wanted to grow up Fall in love and be faithful But we're all fucked up You're insane, I'm unstable And I can never follow through with what I say I'm still a hollow shell that subscribes to hell Who can't get out of his own way until he destroys himself I swallow my emotions They make me feel sick Haven't felt shit since 1996 Where are my parents? Where are your kids? Swallowing emotions This is how we live Swallowing emotions This is how we live Swallowing emotions Oh yeah, pick me up again Oh yeah, pick me up again How bad can it hurt? Oh yeah, pick me up again Prepare for the worst Oh yeah, pick me up again How bad can it hurt? I swallow my emotions They make me feel sick Haven't felt shit since 1996 Where are my parents? Where are your kids? Swallowing emotions This is how we live Swallowing emotions This is how we live Swallowing emotions
