Sword Swallower

Just call me the Sword Swallower
I'm swallowing your words
I am the Sword Swallower
I guess I'll never be heard
Just call me the Sword Swallower
Always cutting my throat
I am the Sword Swallower
Your perfect scapegoat

"Stay behind the scenes" they say
"Shut the fuck up and stay out of our way"
"Keep your mouth shut and take the blame for mine and everyone else's mistakes"
"You do nothing right" they said
"We are your needle, you are the thread"
"We'll sew you up all the way to your head"
"Not in a coma, better off dead"
"All you do is lie" I say
Soul killer to your core everyday
Go ahead and cry me a river about how you don't like this wordplay

Misinterpret my words, tell me what I meant
All so I can fit your narrative

Just call me the Sword Swallower
I'm swallowing your words
I am the Sword Swallower
I guess I'll never be heard
Just call me the Sword Swallower
Always cutting my throat
I am the Sword Swallower
Your perfect scapegoat

"Let's make fun of her" they say
"Eat her up like she's a fucking buffet"
"Run her to the ground 'till her insides decay"
"Talk behind her back at the taco café"
"Put words in her mouth" they said
"Give her wounds that'll never ever mend"
"We were all fake and we played pretend"
"We never wanted that bitch as our friend"
"You're just miserable" I say
I think I'm done, I'm gonna make my way
Hope you have a bella vita
Sincerely, it wasn't good to meet ya

Misinterpret my words, tell me what I meant
All so I can fit your narrative

Just call me the Sword Swallower
I'm swallowing your words
I am the Sword Swallower
I guess I'll never be heard
Just call me the Sword Swallower
Always cutting my throat
I am the Sword Swallower
Your perfect scapegoat
