Choke - St Vitus Dance

She had the eyes of a Saint.

Blessed and the damned.

Weight of the world pressing in.

As she rinses the blood from her hands.

Complications are building.

In you, I can see me.

The truth never laid me so bare.

Holding you up to the light, as it all falls apart.

I can choke on it.

But, I won’t understand it again.

You lie to me, comfort me.

You, I can see through.

Society stands on it’s head.

Media setting the pace.

You broke me, now fix me.

A man or whatever remains.

Throwing it out on the tiles.

Tell me that nothing will change, nothing will change.

I can choke on it.

But, I won’t understand it again.

I can breathe.

I can learn.

I could live on my own.

Holding you up to the light as it all falls apart.

Understand it again.

I can choke, I can choke, I can choke.
