The Choke

don't leave yet
it's still early and i haven't even said a word
and i'm hoping that i might upset you by saying what i want to
'cause it's not like you don't know i've fallen for you
but it's in my head and that's where you can't see it
and i thought that maybe if i had to
bite the tips of my fingers i could stumble over words
and tell you just how far before i hit the ground
and i'm the type to think of all the wrong things to say
i will shut myself up and i'll never come out
i'll close all my doors only show you the black spots where my eyes once were
i can say this
i can say this
i can say this
i can collect myself deep down and then come out punching
i can collect myself deep down and then come out punching
and i'll scream out loud.
scream out loud.
