Chokehold

This is what it’s like to be me
Looking for a flashlight in a blank sea
Nothing but time on my hands
Nothing but blood on the sand
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I’m honest
I come alive when I can’t see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I’m like a child when there’s no hope
I’m on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land
This is time and space the in-between
Dreaming of an out and to be seen
Nothing but fear in my hands
Nothing but doubt in my brain
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I’m honest
I come alive when I can’t see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I’m like a child when there’s no hope
I’m on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land
Come on use your heart and be grateful
Your father gave his heart for you to be hateful
He was the bastard man that put you on this goddamn island
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I’m honest
I come alive when I can’t see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I’m like a child when there’s no hope
I’m on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land
