Swallowed Whole Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can feel the dawn
I can feel the Earth
I can feel the living all around
Around, around, around
All around
Around, around, around
I could choose a path
I could choose the word
I can start the healing
Bring it now, now now now
Bring it now, now now now

[Chorus]
Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
Like vibrations with no end
Hear the planet humming
What is clear far from the noise
Get swallowed whole

[Verse 2]
I could feel the sun
I can see the sound
I could set myself right here and drown
Drown drown drown
Drown drown drown
I can feel the rush
I could clear the clouds
I could set the needle, spin it loud
Loud, loud, loud, loud
Loud, loud, loud, loud
I can hear the crash
I can feel the pound
I can feel the current pulling down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
[Chorus]
Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
Like vibrations with no end
Hear the planet humming
What is clear far from the noise
Get swallowed whole

[Bridge]
With no quiet to be found
Spirit lifted off the ground
And what lies beyond the grave
Might be welcome change
Time will come, come what may
With no rest in peace
Until that day

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I could choose a path
I could choose the word
I can start the healing, bring it now
Now, now, now
Now, now, now, now
I could be the sun
I can be the sound
I could set myself right here and drown
Drown, drown, drown
Drown, drown, drown, drown
[Outro]
Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
And the chapter I've not read

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
