Suffocate

Archived song: 2019

Gasping as I wake

Grip to stop the quake

Cough up soil

I’m in turmoil

Medicate, prevent the break

Dreams turn into fear

Death and blood and tears

Darkened soul

I’m in the hole

My home, my bed, for years

And there’s no light

I’m not right

(Chorus)

Poison whispers

Deadly fingers

Digging out what’s left of me

Still alive

But dead inside

Let me go, let me be, set me free

Smile at everyone

Cover up what has been done

Scream and shout, I can’t climb out

In the grave there is no sun

And there’s no light

I’m not right

(Chorus)

Poison whispers

Deadly fingers

Digging out what’s left of me

Still alive

But dead inside

Let me go, let me be, set me free

(Bridge)

Take my pills

Still feel ill

Broken brain

I’m not sane

Body’s prepared

I’m not scared

It won’t hurt

Throw in the dirt

Poison whispers

Feels like daggers

Carving out the rest of me

Seeds of doubt

God get me out

Save my soul, make me whole, rescue me

Cause I don’t want to die

Bring me back to life
