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.
With my hands around your throat
That's the way I like you most.
When you're choking on the feelings rushing out
I just want to hate
The same way that you hate
So that I don't feel this love no more
Choking on the feelings rushing out
I'm choking feelings rushing out
Time won't open up its wings
Let me fall from grace
And lend into the flames
I don' want to feel this love go cold
I don't know how you opened this light before
Choking on the feelings rushing out
I'm choking on the feelings rushing out!
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse
(Wake!)
Behold this bitter curse
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse, the end is nigh
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse
(Wake!)
Behold this bitter curse
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse, the end is nigh
Take it away, every second of pain
Like a stake through my brain
Existence, inhumane
Am I awake or dreaming?
Is this the life we're breaking?
Why stay alive when dying is much easier?
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse
(Wake!)
Behold this bitter curse
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse, the end is nigh
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse
(Wake!)
Behold this bitter curse
(Wake!)
It's only getting worse, the end is nigh
Take it away, every second of pain
Like a stake through my brain
Existence, inhumane
Am I awake or dreaming?
Is this the life we're breaking?
Why stay alive when dying is much easier?
Am I awake or dreaming?
Is this the life we're breaking?
Why stay alive when dying is much easier?
It's not gonna end the way you want
The end is nigh
It's not gonna end the way you want
The end is nigh
Wasted away, every second and day
Trying to ascertain our dominion in faith
It's not gonna end the way you want
The end is nigh, the end is nigh!
The end is nigh
The end is nigh
The end is nigh
The end is nigh
The end is nigh
The end is nigh
