Velvet Chokehold

You may try to follow

You may try to reason me out

You may try to save me

But you can never understand

The way I have burned

The way I have burned

For years

For years

The sound of approaching violence

the pounding hammers of depression

the stifling sense of pressure

Something you can never understand

And Love may offer

a brief relief

And light may scatter

the darkest storm

But there's no release

From this velver chokehold
