Foxy Methoxy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Listening to Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" on the way to work inspired me to write my own positive pop lyric. Hopefully, it will make its way to a Disembodied Voices tune eventually. "Sometimes I Choke Myself to Sleep" All I want is to bring about the end All I need is a rope, cord, or wire If you say there is something to live for My reply is you’re wasting your time If you believe in a reason or purpose If you feel there is a higher power I’ll let you know when I get there Provided there’s a way I can call from beyond (chorus) Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I chase away my dreams The moment when the noose gets tight Is when I feel the most alive Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I strangle back the tears My lost thoughts then unwind Passing the sleepless time Sometimes I choke myself to sleep If you believe in infinite sadness Quantified by hopeless sedation If you have blacked out fantasies Then maybe you are just what I need I can feel the end approaching I can hear death’s siren song This will be my final farewell Tomorrow is my curtain call (chorus) Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I chase away my dreams The moment when the noose gets tight Is when I feel the most alive Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I strangle back the tears My lost thoughts then unwind Passing the sleepless time Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Last night I thought I had done myself in No more pain no more heart break Last night I thought that I could go through Back at the last moment I untied the noose Botched suicide a pointless endeavor But I believe I’ll have another chance All I want is to bring a sudden halt But I just keep terrifying myself again (chorus) Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I chase away my dreams The moment when the noose gets tight Is when I feel the most alive Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I strangle back the tears My lost thoughts then unwind Passing the sleepless time Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Crying out dark hopeless romantic Asphyxiation is my love child She brings me sleep when I least expect it She takes away the nightmare I bring Awestruck by her presence My own death a seductress approaching me In time my eyes start to sparkle I feel just like a timid schoolgirl in heat (chorus) Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I chase away my dreams The moment when the noose gets tight Is when I feel the most alive Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Sometimes I strangle back the tears My lost thoughts then unwind Passing the sleepless time Sometimes I choke myself to sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
