Chokehold
My tears they fall
It’s been a long crawl
Since I’ve been utterly terrified like this
Saw it on the movie screen
It shook me down to my core
What a time it is to look at everything you know and not be so sure
How long have I left to go
Before I’m wrapped in a chokehold
It won’t be my story
I’m out to blaze a trail that’s all my own
How long have I left to go
Before I’m left without a soul
If you’ll stand before me
I’m out to blaze a trail that’s all my own
Oh, oh
I’m out to blaze a trail
Although it hurts
This wisdom that I’ve earned
Won’t you double it up
Fill my cup like you’re drowning out hell
So I won’t become the product of what they’ve done
God forbid I fall to alcohol, the pills, or worse, the worship of myself
How long have I left to go
Before I’m wrapped in a chokehold
It won’t be my story
I’m out to blaze a trail that’s all my own
How long have I left to go
Before I’m left without a soul
If you’ll stand before me
I’m out to blaze a trail that’s all my own
Oh, oh
I’m out to blaze a trail that’s all my own
Oh, oh
I’m out to blaze a trail that’s all my own
