Choke

Not long ago
I was inside
your downward spiral
dying slow
distracted life
keep it all bound
deserted, not another soul around
fair weathered friends
convenience wins
Keep it, keep all of your madness
drown in all you sadness
choke on all your pain
cause I don't want to
you had me pinned
under your thumb
my mind divided
for protection
illusion with
mirrors and screens
black and white dragging
through the in between
farewell my friends
survival wins
Keep it, keep all of your madness
drown in all your sadness
choke on all you pain
cause I don't want to
keep it, keep all of your sorrow
suffer through tomorrow
choke on all your shame
choke on all your madness....choke
Keep it, keep all of your madness
drown in all your sadness
choke on all your pain
cause I don't want to
keep it, keep all of your sorrow
choke on all your shame
Keep it, keep all of your darkness
don't forget to mark this
bitter holiday
CHOKE!
you asked 1,000 times - CHOKE!
please write a song that's mine - CHOKE!
well this is what I say to you - CHOKE!
you drank yourself half blind - CHOKE!
I live inside your lie - CHOKE!
But I'm not meant to die that way - CHOKE!
