suffocation Lyrics

I knew that suffocation strangled

But I tried to breath with you attached

To these shackles wrapped around my ankles

When I put the padlock through the latch

I'm not sure if conflict is this common

But you say there's lots that I don't know

And after all, it's exciting

Ironically inviting

This cycle I can't seem to outgrow

I just wanna be noticed when you

Look the other way after all the hell you put me through

I can't let go of it

Shutting off, always unpunished

I know I should be above this

But there's just something I love in

The way you pull me back into you

When I've already panicked

Thinking you're gone now forever

Why can I not understand?

I've made astounding observations

About the complicated life you love to lead

When you're anticipating disrespect

Foreseeing some sort of neglect

It ends up all projected onto me

That little callous on your thumb's telling me that

Taking the edge off really isn't so bad

Your invectives are so inventive

And my fucked up perspective

Just keeps me falling for you

Ain't that sad?

I can't let go of it

Shutting off, always unpunished

I know I should be above this

But there's just something I love in

The way you pull me back into you

When I've already panicked

Thinking you're gone now forever

Why can I not understand?

I'm finding solace in the way you

Know how to clear all the debris

Kiss me softly, whisper gentle

The whimpers when you tremble

All help me to forget you're using me

I can't let go of it

Shutting off, always unpunished

I know I should be above this

There's just something I love in

The way you pull me back into you

When I've already panicked

Thinking you're gone now forever

Why can I not understand?

I just wanna be noticed when you

Look the other way after all the hell you put me through

I'm fucking up my body staying numb when I'm bored

I swore to God that I would save you

I can't take anymore
