Choke Lyrics

You've got your hands wrapped around my throat you tighten
I start to choke and the way that you laugh is frightening
My vision blurs, the blood flow starts to cease
Will your face be the last thing I ever see?
Your beauty distorted through the years
through the rejection and all of these hidden fears
you never knew because you never listened
the pain it was shown and these clues they were given
the spark of life i saw in your eyes
i crawled inside and i watched it die
the lies and truths that were never agreed to
this painful truth, is this what we've come to?

why are we lonely here?
where's our love to burn away this fear?
are you lonely here?
because you're so cold when I am near.

I used to think that we would last forever
but now there's only one thing keeping us together
and it's a symbol of what we have lost
a spark of life that's worth any cost
and no matter how cold or lonely it seems
you're so close I can feel you breathe
and now you know it's true
but we never agreed
that you don't have to suffer for us to be happy

so let's stop and take a look at each other
realize we're wasting our time trying to change another
and redirect all the pain this has caused
into a lesson from those we have lost
let's reflect and use all of this pain
to find in us a catalyst for change
