Actually, the correct lyrics (as close as possible off of memory) for the demo
version of "Swallow" are:

"Twisting slowly up the walk
I wanna get there quickly
but my body isn't doing
what I thought I'd make it do
the gun is getting slippery
and my vision's getting blurry
and I feel a certain panic going through me in waves

But I've reached the door now
and I notice I am knocking
I think I hear your footsteps
or is it in my throbbing head
I see the knob is turning
as I swallow unsuccesful
my arm raising from my side
the clouds are parting for the sun."
