Choking on the Truth

[Verse 1]
Sucking on a sucker
Running down the alley
Away from worthlessness
It's dusk
The lovely, pink sky eggs me on
Thinking of you
I roll this candy on my tongue
I throw a rock in the air
But it doesn't go anywhere
(like my spinning wheels)
Reminiscent of this sugar lump
It seems to be lodged in the centre of my throat

[Chorus x2]
Choking on the truth. (choking on the truth) x2
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

[Verse 2]
Discreetly I try to cough it out
Try to scream and shout
Ever changing flights of ideas
My life is surely
Flashing right before my eyes
You have a way. You startle me
I laugh. I face reality
This is a pill of strong will
And, as you intended
So hard to swallow

[Chorus x2]
Choking on the truth. (choking on the truth) x2
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

[Bridge]
I am honesty, and this is hard
You were everything I ever want
Your memory is sweet candy
The flavors fading away...

[Verse 3]
Sucking on a sucker
Running down the alley
Running over all the things I could have done differently
You were mean to me
I didn't mean to be so real, so pure
And honest
And simple
And you make me sad
You make me mad
You're making me choke!

[Chorus x4]
Choking on the truth. (choking on the truth) x2
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth
