CHOKEHOLD - Intellectual

[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)
