Cover my body in flowers, I won't say a word

And hold my neck hostage for hours, and squeeze 'til it hurts

Erode me, I'll play aggressor

Follow me closely, I'll make it seem lesser

Oh, what a tactic, I couldn't take the pressure at first

And so I hold my breath

So dedicatedly I start to choke on my own head

Yeah, I just hold my breath

I let it taper me, oh, what a joke, I know I'm already dead

So I spend all my weekends in Georgia to feel like it helps

And I know there's not much in Atlanta for you, but they're doing well

So I get a little bit frustrated and I start taking arms

You start to lose all of your patience and now nobody talks

About anything worth our while like they used to

Oh, no, I-

Hold my breath (I just want to feel at peace again but everybody's putting me through hell)

So dedicatedly I start to choke on my own head (So I let it get into my head, intoxicate myself with all their help)

Yeah, I just hold my breath (And I don't want to be corrected, I just want to be connected to myself)

Oh, maybe, oh just maybe, I should go with everybody else instead (But what's the point in doing anything at all if I can't do anything well)

Erode me, I'll play aggressor

(Oh, well)

Follow me closely, I'll make it seem lesser

(Oh, well)

Oh, what a tactic, I'm used to the pressure

(Oh, well)

And so I hold my breath

So dedicatedly I start to choke on my own head

Yeah, I just hold my breath

I let it taper me, oh, what a joke, I know I'm already dead
