Choke
Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more time left for hope, at the end of your rope
Choke, at the end of your rope
Choke
No more running, no more hiding from tomorrow
Living life without your eyes, hollow
Read between the lines
A face so pure, he's insecure
He's been running for some time
Find me trapped inside my head
(I can't find a way to bring myself back)
Choking on these words unsaid
(Spit it out, spit it out before I fade out)
No more time left for hope, at the end of your rope
Choke, at the end of your rope
Choke
We are bleeding underneath, I see your shadow
Below the surface I am taken by your sorrow
Read between the lines
More than meets the eye
A face so pure, he's insecure
He's been running for some time
Find me trapped inside my head
(I can't find a way to bring myself back)
Choking on these words unsaid
(Spit it out, spit it out before I fade out)
Eternal ache
A silent grave
Eternal
Find me trapped inside my head
(I can't find a way to bring myself back)
Choking on these words unsaid
(Spit it out, spit it out before I fade out)
Buried in my own head, falling apart
Choking on my own tongue, tearing my heart
