Unto Others - Chokehold Lyrics

I'd like to show you the million reasons that I had for feeling like I had to leave. My relentless attempts to escape the darkness... the weight's on my chest and I no longer breathe. I'm sorry if it feels like abandon. I feel like your life would improve without me. I'm sorry if the life I'd chosen could never fit into what you want it to be. So let me go. Don't scrape me off the floor this time. The walls close in and I revive. You'd keep stitching the holes together until who I was could no longer be seen, But I've stopped searching for the piece that made me nothing-- the broken part that destroyed the whole machine. And maybe if I could just end this hurting I wouldn't feel like I have to say goodbye... But as it stands, I can't escape this madness. There's nothing else left here for me to try. Oh, how I've tried to let go. Don't you think that I'd try to "break through" if only I knew just what to do? So let me go. Don't scrape me off the floor this time. The walls close in and I revive And will my exit be met with disapproval? Is there any way that I can be saved? Or will I be forced to repeat my failures In a vicious cycle in which I am enslaved? It's a risk I feel is well worth taking If only to escape this pain that won't relent. I'll shuffle loose now. Here is my exit. No time for self-doubt or even to repent.
