Choking Me

It's choking me...whatever you've done.

It's colder than that icy bullet and gun.

You're shutting out air that I really need.

You're killing me inside...And I can't breathe.

You're choking me...tearing me apart.

I've been scared away by my own aching heart.

I've lost what I've been looking for in that distant sky.

My wings are broken and I can no longer fly.

And I'd like to blame it on you.

I'm aching to open my eyes inside...something I so long to do.

You've trained me to become what I didn't want to be.

You've locked away my life and stolen the key.

I'm hacking out air I can't feel anymore.

I've been scratching at this feeling that has hurt to the core.

You're choking me.

Why are you choking me?

Why can't I be

what people want to see?

And why do I sit here and let you choke me?

I don't know you anymore.

All I know is I can't breathe.
