Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 'em 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 [Chorus] It feels like now they've got me by the throat You make it sound so sincere I don't believe what I always hear I never thought I'd see this day They got me, got me by the throat I'm force-fed all the answers My paranoia just spreads like cancer I'm so far from all of my problems now [Verse 2] 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, before I cared Sometimes my best just isn't enough [Chorus] It feels like now they've got me by the throat You make it sound so sincere I don't believe what I always hear I never thought I'd see this day They got me, got me by the throat I'm force-fed all the answers My paranoia just spreads like cancer I'm so far from all of my problems now [Outro] They got me by the throat They got me by the throat 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
