a drowning man
can pull you under
along with him

no thought or reason
emotion seizing
every limb

breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold

time slows to nothing
like it's bluffing
from moving on

it takes forever
seems it's never
really gone

breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold

breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold

resigning your grip
feel you slip
slip away

knowin' you're goin'
water foamin'
your last wave

breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold

breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold
breaking the choke hold
