Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Help, I'm drowning
There's nobody around me
I need someone to save me
Can you come and take me?
Help, I'm choking
There's liquid in my breathing
I think I'm sinking
The oxygen is leaking
[Chorus]
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
[Verse 2]
The demon has seen me
He said "I'm not leaving"
The angel is watching me, knows he can't stop me
I'm guessing they're testing me
Getting the best of me
Don't know how long until they see the rest of me
[Chorus]
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
[Verse 3]
They don't believe me
My heart isn't beating
They say I'm imagining, just make believing
The geometry I am seeing
Is leading me to frequencies in my chest, and they're teasing me
[Chorus]
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
[Verse 4]
Now everything's clearer
I look in the mirror
And laugh at the past in the face of the fear
The angel is watching me laugh
And he stops me
To tell me that the end is here
Transition completed
The demon's defeated
He disappears into the smoke
All systems are go
Countdown, five, four, three, two, one
[Bridge]
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
[Chorus]
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Audio
