Emotional Groundswell (Version 5 Country Metal)
(Long Musical Intro) (Verse 1) You left your black and white thermos here It left a brown ring on the coffee table It was still warm when I picked it up earlier Like I could have saved the day I keep reading your tweets and texts Like it might change it’s shape But the screen stays silent, dark and cold And my shallow breath won’t give my chest a break (Pre-Chorus) Then it starts slow Under my rib section Like rain dripping into the drain It overflows and I can’t hold it all in (Chorus) Emotional groundswell You’re unleashing an act of hell Emotional groundswell It hits back hard like a swinging church bell When you repeat my name Don’t say it in an unhealthy vain Emotional groundswell Projecting feelings of inadequacy and shame Emotional groundswell I’m beyond all of that now And I’m calling on you to accept some of the blame (Verse 2) Your pink hoodie is sitting on the chair Smells like something familiar from yesterday I fold it up and set it on the nightstand Next to my head where your perfume scent will stay The sink is full of silverware and coffee cups The floor is empty except your sneakers gone astray Little signs scattered around both of us That I won’t move or can’t bear to throw away (Pre-Chorus) Then it starts slow Under my rib section Like rain dripping into the drain It overflows and I can’t hold it all in (Chorus) Emotional groundswell You’re unleashing an act of hell Emotional groundswell It hits back hard like a swinging church bell When you repeat my name Don’t say it in an unhealthy vain Emotional groundswell Projecting feelings of inadequacy and shame Emotional groundswell I’m beyond all of that now And I’m calling on you to accept some of the blame (Verse 3) If I act too nonchalant or overly calm It’s because of the secret lie that I wear I’m still standing in the entrance way With your shadow dancing over there One small touch stolen like a common crook And I’m unraveling and have become undone A peek from the distance, one small look And it’s time to move-on from here and run (Pre-Chorus) Then it starts slow Under my rib section Like rain dripping into the drain It overflows and I can’t hold it all in (Long Musical Solos) (Chorus) Emotional groundswell You’re unleashing an act of hell Emotional groundswell It hits me hard like a swinging church bell When you repeat my name Don’t say it in an unhealthy vain Emotional groundswell Projecting feelings of inadequacy and shame Emotional groundswell I’m beyond all of that now And I’m calling on you to accept some of the blame (Musical Outro)
