version 2 of suffocating

Suffocating V2 – Giving In

Something's wrong, I feel claustrophobic

I'm stuck living in the past and not the moment

Or the future where my life is only more broken

'Cause those wounds from the past are still open

I take sips of love and every single time it's poison

I let it burn, let it seep in deep,

No use fighting, no need to speak.

The walls close in, my chest caves tight,

Darkness whispers, "Give up the fight."

Heavy hands, no strength to lift,

Falling slow, I sink, I drift.

A hollow breath, my vision blurs,

No more pain, just quiet murmurs.

Let me drown, let me fade,

No more light, no escape.

If this is all I'll ever be,

Then let the dark consume me.

Suffocating V2 – Fighting Back

Something's wrong, I feel claustrophobic

I'm stuck living in the past and not the moment

Or the future where my life is only more broken

'Cause those wounds from the past are still open

I take sips of love and every single time it's poison

But I spit it out, I won't stay weak,

I've tasted death, I refuse to sink.

Fists clenched tight, I bite the pain,

I won't be crushed, I won't be chained.

Let the past scream, let the wounds bleed,

I'll sew them shut, I'll plant new seeds.

The walls may shake, the air runs thin,

But I'll break through—I'll breathe again.

Suffocating V2 – Trapped in Between

Something's wrong, I feel claustrophobic

I'm stuck living in the past and not the moment

Or the future where my life is only more broken

'Cause those wounds from the past are still open

I take sips of love and every single time it's poison

I choke, I gasp, but I don't drown,

Still standing, but still breaking down.

Not lost, not saved, just stuck right here,

Between my hope and all my fears.

The walls press close, but I still stand,

I reach, I grasp, I slip like sand.

I see a light—but is it real?

Or just another wound to heal?

I hold my breath, I count to ten,

Maybe I'll break, or breathe again.
