Suffocate

[Verse 1]
Deep breath, take the dive
Don't believe that I'll survive
And yet you could carry on
No death, no surprise,
no divine intervention could
prove you were ever wrong
I cry to myself
Wonder why you never helped
When I needed you the most
Came out of my shell
Now I'm living through a hell
Like I'm stranded on a coast
[Pre-chorus]
So you drag me out to sea
Hoist the anchor onto me
As you let it sink
And I barely blink
I'm falling underneath...
You.
[Chorus 1]
I don't wanna suffocate, no more
I don't wanna hit the ocean floor
Pounding in my chest, my very core
My heart: a safety vest, but then it tore
I don't wanna suffocate, no more
I don't wanna hit the ocean floor
With a hold on nothing, I'll slip away
Face a thousand torrents and roaring rain
When it's time to face the hands of fate
Know if I fall under I'll suffocate
(Suffocate) x2
[Verse 2]
My back to the wind
Just want you to let me in
All it takes is an open door
Our breath, our sin
Can we stop if we begin?
It's a pain, that we're wanting more
We say we don't mind
But we're just passing the time
Til we scatter or reform
And I know I'm flying blind
But it's just simply unkind
To be stirring up a storm
[Pre-chorus]
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2]
I don't wanna suffocate, no more
I don't wanna hit the ocean floor
Pounding in my chest, my very core
My heart: a safety vest, but then it tore
I don't wanna suffocate, no more
I don't wanna hit the ocean floor
With a hold on nothing, I'll slip away
Face a thousand torrents and roaring rain
When it's time to face the hands of fate
Know if I fall under I'll suffocate
I don't wanna suffocate, no more
But I've already hit the ocean floor
Pounding in my chest, my very core
I'll become the eye of my own storm
I won't wait
to suffocate
Cause I now control the chains
of my own fate
