By The Throat Lyrics

By The Throat lyrics





Feel, don't watch the mercury drop

Things fell apart and then I turned and stopped and said

I can't go on anymore like this



Save me from the tired hums

The crooked stares of the broken ones

One by one, let's watch them all disappear



I used to climb up to the attic at night

I'd end up in the basement screaming

I'm floating above all of you now



It feels like now they've got me by the throat



You make it sound so sincere

I never believe what I always hear

I never thought I'd see the day

They've got me by the throat

I'm force-fed all the answers

My paranoia spreads like cancer

I'm so far from all my problems now



So I packed what's left of me and I'm leaving

These city walls are closing in on me

Take me back before it all began

Before I'd run and before I cared

Sometimes my best just isn't enough



It feels like now they've got me by the throat



You make it sound so sincere

I never believe what I always hear

I never thought I'd see the day

They've got me by the throat

I'm force-fed all the answers

My paranoia just spreads like cancer

I'm so far from all my problems now



All of the things that I've left behind

Have washed out to sea and soon comes

The day that a hard rain falls on me
