A Thousand Voices - Chokehold Lyrics

Get up
There's not much left of me
A bittersweet emptiness is all that I have left
I think the end is near
The only thing I'll say before I go, before I lose it all
I'm made of messes, but I give good first impressions
This is where I come to rest
This is where I come to hide
This is where I come to escape the chokehold of life
It's never easy
Watching things unfold
Just a story left untold
This is the way I should confess that I'm not right in the head
What?
Everything I thought I once knew is buried down below
(Low)
This is the way of a ruined man
A dull-witted masquerade
There're so many things you don't know
And I wish I knew how to f*cking breathe
This is where I come to rest
This is where I come to hide
This is where I come to escape the chokehold of life
This is how I cope
This is how I stay sane
This is how I get over the weigh down
Help me
I can't even say my own name without feeling lost and ashamed
Lost and ashamed
You think you know what's best for me
But you don't know shit
No
I never waited for this
I had plans
I had plans
And now I'm giving up
I urge you to follow your dreams
So you don't end up like me
This depression will grab a hold of me
But it won't be the same for you
I urge you to follow your dreams
So you don't end up like me
Release your chains and break free
Because there is no time left
This is everything you've ever wanted
So why not chase it?
Follow your dreams
I don't think I can move on
There's too much resting on this
I just want to lay my head to rest
Lay my head to rest
I don't need you to save me
I just need you to hold my hand
While I save me from myself
Save me from myself
