By The Throat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
They're got me by the throat
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
