Choke (live)

[Verse 1]
Not long ago
I was inside your downward spiral
I was dying slow, distracted life
Keep it all down, deserted, and
Not another soul around, and
Fair weathered friends
You know not when convenience wins

[Chorus]
Keep it, keep all of your madness
Drown in all your sadness
You can choke on all your pain
Cause I don't want to

[Verse 2]
You had me pinned under your thumb
My mind divided for protection
Illusion with mirrors and screens
Black and white and dragging through the in between
Farewell my friends
Survival, it wins

[Chorus]
Keep it, Keep all of your madness
Drown in all your sadness
You can choke on all your pain
Cause I don't want to
Keep it, keep all of your sorrow
You can suffer through tomorrow
Choke on all your shame

[Chorus]
Keep it, Keep all of your madness
Drown in all your sadness
You can choke on all your pain
Cause I don't want to
Keep it, keep all of your sorrow
You can suffer through tomorrow
Chokе on all your shame

Keep it, keep all of your darkness
And don't forget to mark this bittеr holiday
(Choke!)
You asked a thousand times
(Choke!)
Please [?] a soul that's mine
(Choke!)
So this is what I got to say to you
(Choke!)
You drank yourself half blind
(Choke!)
I lived inside your lies
(Choke!)
But I'm not meant to die that way
(Choke!)
