Chokehold

(Verse 1)
I’ve been clawing at the walls inside my mind,
Every breath I take is burning up my spine,
I can hear the voices whisper, “You’ll never be free,”
I’m a prisoner of memories that keep strangling me.

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s getting harder to pretend I’m fine,
Every shadow wants a piece of my life—
I reach for the light but it fades away,
Now I’m begging for air in the mess I made.

(Chorus)
I’m caught in a chokehold, can’t break the chain,
Drowning in the silence, addicted to the pain.
Every time I fight back, it tightens again—
This life’s a noose, and I’m hanging by my sins.

(Verse 2)
There’s a war in my chest that I’ll never win,
The scars on my heart are where it begins.
I scream for escape but the echo lies,
I’m a ghost in my skin with dead glass eyes.

(Breakdown / Bridge)
Let me breathe—
I’m suffocating underneath the weight of me!
Let me bleed—
If this is what it takes to finally be free!

(Drop / Heavy Section)
Tear me open, let the black pour out,
This is my purge, my final doubt.
Choke me ‘til I fade, ‘til I disappear,
I was never alive, I just existed in fear.

(Final Chorus)
I’m caught in a chokehold, can’t break the chain,
Drowning in the silence, addicted to the pain.
If I let go, will I still remain?
Or will the dark finally know my name?

(Outro / Whisper)
I can’t breathe…
And maybe that’s the only peace I’ll ever need.
