Suffocate
We never dropped the anchorWe only held it off the sideWhile you prayed our ship was comingI knew the wind already diedSometimes the undertow feels like the tideSometimes the brutal truth, it cuts you like a knife
I was suffocated where I standBut I'm not just the shadow of a man
You never asked for nothingI only wish you would've beggedWhile the life through our window fed like flies on the deadSometimes adrenaline is the only way that we survivedAnd sometimes the bleakest days are the only place to hide
I was suffocated where I standBut I'm not just the shadow of a man
Get away from the all white picket fenceHow long will you wake up to the dead(Hold on, hold on, she said)(Hold on, hold on, she said)
I'm just a dreadful vampireSitting on this crumbling empireI dissolve and melt and crackAnd I'm the one that won't come back
You can't ever smile, you can't ever breatheYou can't have my child if you're pregnant with meYou can't have a soul and you just can't let it be
Well sometimes the undertow, it feels like the tideSometimes the brutal truth, it cuts you like a knifeSometimes you pray that someone throws you a line'Cause you can't live if you're suffocating
