Choke Sermon

Sermon sung me slow to sleep

Faster if I had a choice

With every breath another death

Still so in love with your own voice

Idle threats to hide regrets

Excuses serve to bide the time

Cover tracks, double back

We summon silence so divine

Greeted with a thundering

absence of applause

Choke on your own words

Lies are venom in your veins

Burn from the inside

And never speak my name

Jesus complex, gag reflex

Trigger happy redundancy

No thrill, no chase, no saving grace

Hypnotic in monotony

Loaded with a salt rock shot

You say you're everything you're not

What might have been is all you've got

From here and now you're dead to me

Greeted with a thunderous

absence of applause

Choke on your own words

Lies are venom in your veins

Burn from the inside

And never speak my name

Nothing will ever erase

Or undo your disgrace

A lonely self-embrace

They've long forgotten you

Still cling to what it was

A lost and hopeless cause

Forever mourning your loss

They've long forgotten you

Murdered slowly in minute

increments of time

Pissing up a rope

Another moment passes by

Choke on your own words

Lies are venom in your veins

Burn from the inside

And never speak my name
