Chokehold


I’m slowly suffocating 
Vulnerability within your grasp 
Its pain you’re instigating 

Silent screams reverberating 
I wear a stone-cold mask 
I’m slowly suffocating 

The dark voices are nattering, chattering 
Insanity experiencing relapses 
Its pain you’re instigating 

I’m weary of your jaunting 
Living is no easy task 
I’m slowly suffocating 

Its cruel torture that you’re flaunting 
Let us drink from the poisonous flask 
Its pain you’re instigating 

My being is distorting 
Tell me will this last? 
I’m slowly suffocating 
From the pain you’re instigating
