Choker

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm

I don't bother anyone
Nervous when I stand
Chokin' on the circumstance
Only smokin' secondhand

Cut us open, spread us out
Dry us in the sand
Lay the fibers side-by-side
And you'll begin to understand

I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's comin' for me
Comin' for me

Hmm (I know it's over)
Hmm, hmm, hmm

I don't bother anyone
Never make demands
Chokin' on the circumstance
Self-sabotage is a sweet romance

Seems like all I'm worth
Is what I'm able to withstand
Sooner I can realize
That pain is just a middleman

I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's comin' for me

I see no volunteers to co-sign on my fears
I'll sign on the line
Alone, gonna change my circumstance
I know I need to move right now

'Cause I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's comin' for me (only smokin' secondhand)
I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's comin' for me
Comin' for me

Like a little splinter buried in your skin
Someone else can carve it out
But when you've got the pin
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
When your body's screamin' out
Trust your mind's listenin'
Like a silhouette that you can barely see
As a shadow cast upon the ground where you'll eventually
Lay forever, but the day goes on, the Sun moves behind you
You get taller, bolder, stronger and the rearview only blinds you

Hmm, hmm, hmm
