CHOKEHOLD

[Verse 1]
I'm not one for keepin' secrets (I'm not one for keepin' secrets)
Even angels can be demons (Even angels can be demons)
I was hopin' I'd be someone you believed in (I'd be someone you believed in)
Then I opened up my scars and watch them deepen (Then I opened up my scars and watch them deepen)
It's never easy (No no no)

I never hear the end of it
Two steps back
My motives were irrelevant
I can't change that
I told myself I'd never hurt you again, and I mean it (and I mean it)
Please don't leave me (Please don't leave me, please don't go)

[Bridge]
Can't forget the words you said to me (stuck in my head)
Soon enough I'll be a memory (better off dead)

[Chorus]
Chokehold on my soul
It's getting harder to cope
Under the pressure I fold
I made myself this way
Feel it under my skin
I can't let anyone in
Gave me a reason to live
But then I threw it away
I decided then I'll never feel alright again (feel alright again)
Fill the silence in
Withdrawing from your Vicodin
I'm the one who's to blame
But I can't live without you
There's just something about you that I can't escape

[Verse 2]
I'm sure there's nothing left to hide (I'm sure there's nothing left to hide)
Cause I can't feel my face through this disguise (Can't feel my face through this disguise)
I always love the journey, hate the drive, hate the drive
Now I'm unsure about what I might do
If I'm not there beside you
Can't look me in my eye
Used to think that we were fireproof
But now I know you lied too
I'm living just to spite you
But I'm losing my mind
Who'd have thought that we would die too (who'd have thought that we would die too)

[Bridge]
Can't forget the words you said to me (stuck in my head)
Soon enough I'll be a memory (better off dead)

[Chorus]
Chokehold on my soul
It's getting harder to cope
Under the pressure I fold
I made myself this way
Feel it under my skin
I can't let anyone in
Gave me a reason to live
But then I threw it away
I decided then I'll never feel alright again (feel alright again)
Fill the silence in
Withdrawing from your Vicodin
I'm the one who's to blame
But I can't live without you
There's just something about you that I can't escape
