Choke 03:49
You're so voiceless you grab the headliners and spit them out- you like the sound but you're so empty under that body, don't tell me you feel heavy. Don't you know we see right through your dense words? Keep talking. (Sounds of the voiceless) I'm hearing myself say, I’ve heard this a thousand times before. Someday’s all I've got is a voice in the back of my throat but I won't choke. I won’t- Won't you wake up and feel something you know you don't have to be a ghost anymore Are you a guest in your own ghost life with your packed bag and fear of impact. You can only fear what you've seen before, so fight your demons, don't give them hope. At the end of the day all that matters is are you dead or are you sleeping? Won't you wake up and feel something Someday’s all I've got is a voice in the back of my throat but I won't choke. I won’t- Won't you wake up and feel something you know you don't have to be a ghost anymore Won't you wake up and feel something you know you don't have to be a ghost anymore x3

There are no givens, Except what we’re given by the ones who came before us But they left us a puzzle, Late birthday wrapping, thick paper, paper cuts We are creatures of a culture we create, But we are still afflicted with our contextual birthplace This problem’s generations old, Hand-me-down psychology Perfectly the puzzle pieces Fit between my mom and me Late birthday wrapping, thick paper, paper cuts What they couldn’t figure, they have left for us You are me, I’m not you Suffering, still burns through Hand-me-down pain! Hand me-down pain!

I used to write a lot about the people I used to love But I don't love no one anymore And I don't know how to love you and not be scared Because I'm not sure such things exist anymore But if I could- I'm sure I'd tell you I’d kiss every notch in your spine if the shivers that it sent kept your chin up all the time I’d kiss every notch in your spine if the shivers that it sent kept your chin up all the time Id kiss every notch in your spine I really regret what happened in newark On johns roof I saw the blood spill from your lips And I didn't know what to do I want to tell you I love you But I don't know if I do I'm scared of making promises I'm not sure I can keep Sometimes I just don't have the right words to say- Sometimes I just don't have the right words to say And I never want to see your eyes turn grey Sometimes I just don't have the right words to say And I never want to see your eyes turn grey I’d kiss every notch in your spine if the shivers that it sent kept your chin up all the time I’d kiss every notch in your spine if the shivers that it sent kept your chin up all the time Sometimes I just don't have the right words to say And I never want to see your eyes turn grey I’d kiss every notch in your spine

I can't explain what's missing In the gaps in-between. I thought it was chemistry but it was just maps of the subway. So what are you trying to tell me. After all this time Cause it's been years since I've seen your face. And our eyes don't quite align The same way So what are you trying to tell me. After all this time Cause it's been years since I've seen your face. And our eyes don't quite align The same way It's amazing how people make the same mistakes they swore they'd never make. But we keep trying. We all make the same mistakes And we aren't bad people Sometimes we do bad things It's ok as long as we are growing We all make the same mistakes And we aren't bad people Sometimes we do bad things It's ok as long as we are growing We all make the same mistakes And we aren't bad people Sometimes we do bad things

You’re the image they spit out From your head to your toes you know you’ve got his nose Got his nose Kid nursing salivary glands Surgical fear, it took them years To splice you up and put you back again You’ve got your mom’s eyes, and your dad’s jawline You know you stole it, when you were born You’ve got your mom’s lies, your dad’s incline They gave’em to you, now you’re torn Your body won’t accept the transplant Rejected organs left stagnant, new blood grows New blood grows Conjoined veins strangle your throat Cut the cord or put a voice behind those words You’ve got your mom’s eyes, and your dad’s jawline You know you stole it, when you were born You’ve got your mom’s lies, your dad’s incline They gave’em to you, now you’re torn There’s no image, and I’m not spitting But these articles and follicles, they know My bones have grown so big and strong I guess I drank my milk They’ve been stronger than yours all along I’ve got my mom’s eyes, and my dad’s jawline You know I stole’em, when I was born I’ve got my mom’s lies, my dad’s incline They gave’em to me, now I’m torn I’m not spitting I’m not spitting I’m not spitting, anymore You’ve been spitting You’ve been spitting You’ve been spitting, all along

I’ve watched this house turn to boxes and empty bookshelves. I’ve seen their eyes turn grey, and it’s not from dust, it’s not from age. I’ve watched this house (turn) I’ve watched this house turn to boxes I’ve seen your eyes turn grey and it’s not from dust it’s not from age I’ve watched this house (turn) I’ve watched this house turn to boxes I’ve seen your eyes turn grey I’ve seen I’ve seen You said i was lucky i had these four walls with the word ‘love’ etched into every single one. We all know paint peels and Even we wake up one day to every single wall left bare and empty. left bare and empty you said i was lucky left bare and empty you said i was lucky Now the locks are broken, the doors left wide open, the thresholds have turned cold since we last crossed them This house is a home to whomever wants it- Friends, put your hands together, build yourselves a home- Don’t matter where you’re going or where you’re from, Friends, put your hands together, build yourselves a home- Family is the blood you choose to call your own
