Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't bother anyone
Nervous when I stand
Choking on the circumstance
Only smoking secondhand
Cut us open, spread us out
Dry us in the sand
Lay the fibers side by side
And you'll begin to understand
[Chorus]
I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's coming for me
Coming for me
[Verse 2]
I know it's over
[Verse 3]
I don't bother anyone
Never make demands
Choking on the circumstance
Self-sabotage is a sweet romance
Seems like all I'm worth is what
I'm able to withstand
Sooner I can realise
That pain is just a middle man
[Chorus]
I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's coming for me
[Verse 4]
I see no volunteers
To co-sign on my fears
I'll sign on the line
[Bridge]
Alone, you're gonna change my circumstance
I know I need to move right now 'cause
[Chorus]
I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's coming for me
Only smoking secondhand
[Chorus]
I know it's over
I was born a choker
Nobody's coming for me
Coming for me
[Verse 5]
Like a little splinter buried in your skin
Someone else can carve it out, but when you've got the pin
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
When your body's screaming out, trust, your mind's listening
Like a silhouette that you can barely see
As a shadow cast upon the ground where you'll eventually lay forever
But the day goes on, the sun moves behind you
You get taller, bolder, stronger
And the rearview only blinds you
