Keeping me down by tearing my wings.
Walking away you leave me to die.
How could you do these things?
Thats all I want to know is why?

Smothering.
Today is ate up by
to-morrow.
Swallowing.
Choke down what you say I
should know.
Smothering.

Bless me with you brand of holy water.
Preach of all the needed sacrifice
leading my mind into a cruel slaughter,
with a wicked smile you tighten the vise.

Smothering.
Today is ate up by
to-morrow.
Swallowing.
Choke down what you say I
should know.
Smothering.

Break my legs then expect me to walk.
Scold every action with incensed hypocracy.
As I crawl you still abuse me with your talk,
pushing my face in the mud you ask if I can see.

Smothering.
Today is ate up by
to-morrow.
Swallowing.
Choke down what you say I
should know.
Smothering
me until I die.
As you turn to walk away,
I pull myself up and stand
in defiance of all you say.
When you come and offer your hand...
   I cut it off
