Just take a step back and look at the damage we've done
When we thought everything was cool, when we were all just having fun
But there's one mistake that everyone made
Without noticing, we all became slaves to emotion
Crazed with hate and remorse
We were on track but somehow got off course
And put ourselves on the shelves to save for later
And missed our chance to catch the elevator
Now we're taking stairs and it feels like so much work
My legs are weary and my sides fucking hurt
And I doubt I'll be at the top before you
But if I beat you there I'll save a seat for you
So sit back relax, take a load off your feet
Just shut the fuck up and smile, watch your TV
Because there's one thing running on syndication
Hold your breath son, here comes suffocation.
It's getting hard for us to breathe
But you're like oxygen to me
Under my skin you'll remain
It's all the same, it's all the same
Suffocate
And I'm ashamed that you're to blame
Just suffocate.
You start rethinking it
It's the weight of the world finally sinking in
Feels great on your spine, practically breaking
When it pushes you down to the floor, there's no mistaking
It's awakening.
It's been buried for centuries
Now it's at your front door waiting patiently
Now it's poking your shoulder, quite persistently
To get your full attention for an eternity
It lingers in your mind, it breaks down your home
It never leaves your side, but you'll always feel alone
It never shuts its mouth, it never lets you go
It's a stain on your brain that's now engraved into your soul
What did you expect breathing in all them fumes
You thought the air was clean, Nah, it was poison too
It will haunt your dreams and it will eat your flesh
But you're in too deep, so take another breath.
What did you expect breathing in all them fumes.
It's getting hard for us to breathe
But you're like oxygen to me
Under my skin you'll remain
It's all the same, it's all the same
I'm ashamed. You're to blame.
Suffocate. Suffocate.
