Coming Home 04:19
lyrics

I tried to get away. You tried to get me back And then you lied to me. It cut me. I thought you’d realize I’m not another fool. I can still hear you saying, “I’m sorry”. I know you hide from me who you really are. You keep on telling me you’re changing. You think you understand what you’re doing wrong, But every day you’re still saying, “I’m sorry”. I think it’s time to go, and it’s just the little things. That’s what you do to me, and you’ll never let me go. Is it just a game to you with all that you put me through? My head is spinning while you keep up your game. You say it’s different this time, but there’s no reason to go on anymore. I know I’d still hear you saying, “I’m sorry”. It’s really time you go, And it’s just the little things. That’s what you do to me And you’ll never let me go. Is it just a game to you with all that you put me through? I don’t need your sympathy or guilt that you put on me. And I’m never coming home. It’s just the little things. Yeah, just the little things.

Dashboard Jesus 03:17
lyrics

Hey have you always been this way? A frigging psychopath. If I ask real nice will you go away, and give me piece of mind? You were mine, but I never noticed you were this way. You were fine with a dashboard Jesus rolling in your trunk. You’re flying hard down 55, paranormal suicide. Everything is stupid & God don’t need you. A confession just won’t save the day. You were mine, but I never noticed you were this way. You were fine with a dashboard Jesus rolling in your trunk So now you have this special time to prove us all right about you. Hey have you always been this way; no faith in anything? If I throw a stick would you go away and go recover it? You were mine, but I never noticed you were this way. You were fine with a dashboard Jesus rolling in your trunk.

Sinner 03:23
lyrics

I feel I’m sinking. The night is over While you were drinking your wine. But I feel I’m waiting in line, Just you and I, just one more time. And I feel like I’ve sinned over and over again. Yeah, I feel like I’ve sinned again. As I stand here counting and I’m tired of aching, Was it all worth my time? So how do I owe you a dime? I worked for mine; I worked for mine. And I feel like I’ve sinned over and over again. Yeah, I feel like I’ve sinned again.

Consumed 03:36
lyrics

I watched the end of the world today right on TV from my easy chair. Some famous people kept asking for my cash, but I did better and I sent them prayers. How can we not know that we let it go too far? Can’t you see we’re already doomed? We took a step and fell down the stairs and let ourselves be consumed. I sent this next verse to 5 of my friends so nothing bad will happen to me. I took a picture of myself in my bathroom ‘cause everything revolves around me. How can we not know that we let it go too far? Can’t you see we’re already doomed? We took a step and fell down the stairs and let ourselves be consumed. I unfriended 20 people today ‘cause they didn’t like my point of view whether it’s right or it’s wrong or if it matters. I’m sure that’s what Jesus would do. How can we not know that we let it go too far? Can’t you see we’re already doomed? We log in just to let too much out and let ourselves be consumed.

Why Won't You Stay? 04:41
lyrics

Been sitting on the couch since you walked out. I drank my beer and watched you bitch and pout. You took my car an money, then you laughed out loud as if you’d like to see me down and out. I shoulda known your time to go was near. You’re disgusted when I call you “love” or “dear”. When you’re standing near, you say I stink like beer. That’s when I realized you’d leave me here. No money in my pockets and the power’s out Ever since you walked away. I’d look back and smile, but I’m lonely and cold today. Why won’t you stay? You thought that you could make me change my ways, b But here I am I’m still the same today. I stood here proud and let you walk right out, bitch. Yeah, that was brilliant. No money in my pockets and the power’s out Ever since you walked away. Watching television from the bottom of my glass; When morning comes, my liver’s gonna pay. No whiskey in my bottle and I’m all strung out. The pills don’t work like yesterday. I’d look back and smile, but I’m broke and alone today. Why won’t you stay?

Three 03:00

There’s a girl that lives in my cellar. She watches cable and she’s always been good to me. She sleeps in the corner by the heater. No one knows she’s there but me. No one will ever believe That she really likes being with me. Good things happen in threes. Yeah. There’s a girl that lives in my attic. She doesn’t care what she looks like anymore. She’s always on some new kind of diet. She doesn’t eat like she used to eat before. No one will ever believe That she really likes being with me. Good things happen in threes. Yeah. There’s a girl that lives in my closet. She tries to tell me things when I go to sleep at night. She picks out clothes for me to wear in the morning. I look stupid cause she never turns on the light. She watches me while I play with all my toys. She wants to play, but she’s way too afraid to ask. I wanna be with her inside my closet. I want to be with her, but I’m way too afraid to ask. No one will ever believe That she really likes being with me. Good things happen in threes. Yeah.

The Bomb 03:23
lyrics

Don’t you wish for what you dream of, ‘cause it might come true today. And dont you miss me when im not there for you ‘cause I was never there for you today. Let it go, you don’t know, let me fly, let me go. Can you hear me in your voices The ones that you’ll sleep with tonite, Or are they silenced for your reasons To make everything all right? I’m a stain, You’re the bomb . I have a name, But you’re the bomb. Look into my eyes tell me what you see, what you see. I can forgive, can you forget? For I have relived, through your regret. I cant unmark what others do. I cant believe, the bomb is you.

SWAMPBOX, heralding from the Philadelphia and southern New Jersey area, specializes in modern alternative rock, featuring powerful, guitar-driven hard rock with melodic twists. The group is an explosive four-piece band employing a conscious drive to forge a unique path in music. With seasoned professional members previously from major acts such as Faith Or Fear, Robert Hazard and the Heroes, Rough Toyz, and Drastic Measures, the chart-climbing band delivers a commanding cross-genre musical style that has drawn comparisons to artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Finger Eleven, Green Day, and The Foo Fighters.

By popular demand, the critically-acclaimed debut album from SWAMPBOX, completely remixed and remastered on its five year anniversary, is now available direct only from Alistar Entertainment Group! Using state-of-the-art technology, the original basement recording has been painstakingly cleaned and reprocessed at Der Kater Mitschnitt. Included as a bonus track on the re-release is their cover of Wicked Game, which didn't make the original global release!
