Sway Lyrics

I'm not the animal I used to be

but you shouldn't speak ill of the dead

I've never been just one of the boys

I've never hidden guns under the bed

I feel like Jesus, I feel betrayed

and you know damn well that I feel crucified

assassination, shot full of vitriol

there's so many more heroic ways to die

I close my eyes and I start to drift away

I close my eyes and I start to sway



Lie back and think of England I'll just fake it some more

a carrion feast for the ravens and the crows

I know my price and I'll be your whore

and I don't care if the whole damn world knows

I feel so jaded, so tired and so worn

I feel like I've got nothing left to say

I'll be a martyr, a brave little soldier

'cos there's so many demons left to purge and slay

I close my eyes and I start to drift away

I close my eyes and I start to sway



Trapped in the eye of a hurricane

takin' a ride on a runaway train

behind the wheel of a crashing car

caught in the trail of a falling star



Can't turn my back without a blade digging deep, deep, deep

it's more than enough to make a grown man cry

the god in me is the, the devil in you

there's so many more beautiful ways to die

I close my eyes and I start to drift away

I close my eyes and I start to sway.
