Old Demons
Suffocating, why must it be so hard to keep from
Suffocating, why must you clasp your hands so tight around my throat
Suffocating me
Suffocating, why must it feel like I am
Suffocating
Suffocating, eat away at my breath
Suffocating, rob me of purpose
Suffocating, keep me chained, a prisoner
Suffocating on pale sunlight in hopes it will revive me
Suffocating, lyrics care to put my mind at ease yet it still feels that painful urge of
Suffocation, that nagging question still burns the tip of my ears
Suffocating the intestines in my stomach with pain and all it's side effects
Suffocating, burn my lungs with smoke
Suffocating, I cannot rid it from my presence
Suffocating, it lingers in my nostrils; a myriad of poisons in my veins to
Suffocate me slowly, letting me know my life is growing listless; growing pointless
Suffocating, these dark thoughts plague; way too strong, they are growing way too strong
Suffocating me with this insufferable, nauseating smell I can't purge from the atmosphere for the wind is way too strong and I, only a human body
Suffocating under the weight of a mighty boot I cannot pull myself from under
Suffocating my insides, telling me something I'm not surprised to hear but more importantly I'm struggling to find all the time the importance of staying alive
Suffocating, I'm trying to afloat on a sinking ship but it's only a boat
Suffocating in stormy ocean waters, alone, like always
Suffocating, why must I always be
Suffocating...can something save me already
