Choking — Music and Lyrics by Dead Johnny
Walking through my crowd, I see so many faces, As I go through my paces, away from this place as, The things we hold close and the things that we reject, Left standing, all I taste in my mouth is regret, The people I destroyed and the people that I killed, The people that I loved are the people that I hurt, At the time I felt that I controlled what I felt, Pressure of the memories hurt as they exert. What has become of me, Going down that road too far, Somedays I cannot face myself, Somedays myself cannot face me. I find that I play out these scenarios in my mind, Tinkering with my memories but I cannot change time, Can't remember what I felt that way at the time, See clearly now but at the time I was blind, The emotions we felt and the emotions we feel, As I realize and they don't allow me to heal, Can't move forward when all you do is move back, Can't change what it was, choking on regret. Blood that's on my hands, I taste it in my choke, Sometimes it is so hard to breath, With my hands wrapped around my throat. Can't move forward when all you do is move back, Can't change what it was, choking on regret.
