Chokin'

(album: To Dream Beneath The Scorpion - 2023)

I'm feeling so broken
Like everything's choking
Like everything's a breath away
And I'm breathing ocean
And I'm done with this shit
And I'm done wishing
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
Fuck being hopeless
Fuck this emotion
I'm done being stolen
From every moment
I'm so done giving in
To these old addictions
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening

I'm sick of feeling pain like a blade's in my mind
I'm sick of feeling drained every day of my life
It's like I've got a plague and I'm fading away
Man, I'm praying, and I can't even name you the God
I'm done thinking, fuck, can I fake it or not?
How many of them "I'm okays" do I got?
How many more days will I waste in my mind
Full of hate for myself like I'm waiting to rot
Well, this is me taking myself from the lie
This is cocaine for a hell of a mind
This is my way to command what is mine
I'm coming for me like my hand is divine
Yeah, I'm just a phantom in time
I'm like a seed on the breeze from a dandelion
I've been gifted these hands of mine
And if that's not enough, man, then what kind of man am I?

Fuck being hopeless
Fuck this emotion
I'm done being stolen
From every moment
I'm so done giving in
To these old addictions
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening

I see the devil now as clear as you and me
I see him peeking from my wounds
Reaching to what I could use to keep me weak
I see the devil now as clear as you and me
Maybe it's a dream to be immune
But I see you
So let's get blood up in these teeth

Alright!
Fuck being hopeless
Fuck this emotion
I'm done being stolen
From every moment
I'm so done giving in
To these old addictions
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
I've had a devil in my mind
And I'm done listening
