Lyrics

Chokehold

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.

This is what it's like to be me

Looking for a flashlight in a blank sea

Nothing but time on my hands

Nothing but blood on the sand

I come alive in the darkness

I come alive when I'm honest

I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me

I come alive in a chokehold

I'm like a child when there's no hope

I'm on a bastard island

Fatherless and desperate for dry land

This is time and space the in-between

Dreaming of an out and to be seen

Nothing but fear in my hand

Nothing but doubt in my brain

I come alive in the darkness

I come alive when I'm honest

I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me

I come alive in a chokehold

I'm like a child when there's no hope

I'm on a bastard island

Fatherless and desperate for dry land

Come on, use your heart and be grateful

Your father gave his heart for you to be hateful

He was the bastard man that put you on this goddamn island

I come alive in the darkness

I come alive when I'm honest

I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me

I come alive in a chokehold

I'm like a child when there's no hope

I'm on a bastard island

Fatherless and desperate for dry land
