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 crazed
With emotions, slaves to 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 they’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
‘Cause there’s one thing running on syndication.
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
‘Cause it’s the weight of the world finally sinking in
It 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 all 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’ll haunt your dreams and it will eat your flesh
But you’re in too deep so take another breath
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.
