By The Throat - Dead to Me

Feel, don't watch the mercury drop 
Things fell apart and then I turned and stopped and said 
I can't go on anymore like this 

Save me from the tired hums 
The crooked stares of the broken ones 
One by one, let's watch them all disappear 

I used to climb up to the attic at night 
I'd end up in the basement screaming 
I'm floating above all of you now 

It feels like now they've got me by the throat 

You make it sound so sincere 
I never believe what I always hear 
I never thought I'd see the day 
They've got me by the throat 
I'm force-fed all the answers 
My paranoia spreads like cancer 
I'm so far from all my problems now 

So I packed what's left of me and I'm leaving 
These city walls are closing in on me 
Take me back before it all began 
Before I'd run and before I cared 
Sometimes my best just isn't enough 

It feels like now they've got me by the throat 

You make it sound so sincere 
I never believe what I always hear 
I never thought I'd see the day 
They've got me by the throat 
I'm force-fed all the answers 
My paranoia just spreads like cancer 
I'm so far from all my problems now 

All of the things that I've left behind 
Have washed out to sea and soon comes 
The day that a hard rain falls on me
