The Choke - Austra

The thing that leaves you in the darkness is her

The thing that maybe once seemed harmful is her

The lamp, the car, the door

The lamp, the slip, the floor

You wouldn’t eat unless I told you so

I never knew that you would burn it so slow

The mouth, the breath, the smoke

The mouth, the breath, the choke

(Niagra)

Who would have thought

I’m maybe caught

Who would have thought

I’m maybe caught

Lover, don’t do anything!

The choke

Lover, don’t do anything!

The choke

The thing that leaves you in the darkness is her

The thing that maybe once seemed harmful is her

The lamp, the car, the door

The lamp, the slip, the floor

Is this attention just a burden to bear?

A sick reminder that I didn’t care?

The mouth, the breath, the smoke

The mouth, the breath, the choke
