Choking Where The Air Should Be - DUET

+ Show full styles

[Heavy distortion kicks in]
[Powerful, soaring rock vocal]
(Chorus)
And I am drowning in the breathing
Choking where the air should be
Shoulder to shoulder, skin to bone
I’ve never felt so all alone
Caught in the undertow of the human race
Yeah, I’m just a shadow they refuse to face

[Drop back to quiet bass and drums]
[Restrained, gritty vocal]
(Verse 2)
Staring through these cracked and painted eyes
Pouring out the hours till the well runs dry
They brush my arm, they catch my stare
But look right through me like I’m never there
Nothing gets in, nothing bleeds out
Deafened by the silence in the middle of the shout

[Maximum intensity, wall of sound]
[Aggressive vocal delivery]
(Chorus)
And I am drowning in the breathing
Choking where the air should be
Shoulder to shoulder, skin to bone
I’ve never felt so all alone
Caught in the undertow of the human race
Yeah, I’m just a shadow they refuse to face

[Driving rhythm, building tension]
(Bridge)
Feed the machine, keep walking the line
Wash it down with water, pray that it's wine
But it settles like lead inside my chest
A broken iron bell that won’t lay to rest
I am the ghost they walk right through
I am the cold ground underneath their shoes

[Wailing Grunge Guitar Solo]
[Slow, heavy bends into a massive build]

[Desperate, raw rock wail]
(Chorus)
Yeah, I am drowning in the breathing
Choking where the air should be
Shoulder to shoulder, skin to bone
I’ve never felt so all alone
Caught in the undertow of the human race
Yeah, I’m just a shadow they refuse to face

[Music slows, heavy fading feedback]
[Vocal fades to a quiet rasp]
(Outro)
All alone in the swarm
Cold inside the warm
Standing right here…
But I’m already gone
I’m gone…
I’m gone…
[End]

[Moody, clean electric guitar intro] [Deep, gravelly baritone vocal] (Verse 1) Concrete coughs under broken heels A million faces, none of them real They push on past like I’m yesterday’s rain Just another ghost in the pouring vein I’m screaming inside this skin I wear Waiting for a voice that ain’t even there [Heavy distortion kicks in] [Powerful, soaring rock vocal] (Chorus) And I am drowning in the breathing Choking where the air should be Shoulder to shoulder, skin to bone I’ve never felt so all alone Caught in the undertow of the human race Yeah, I’m just a shadow they refuse to face [Drop back to quiet bass and drums] [Restrained, gritty vocal] (Verse 2) Staring through these cracked and painted eyes Pouring out the hours till the well runs dry They brush my arm, they catch my stare But look right through me like I’m never there Nothing gets in, nothing bleeds out Deafened by the silence in the middle of the shout [Maximum intensity, wall of sound] [Aggressive vocal delivery] (Chorus) And I am drowning in the breathing Choking where the air should be Shoulder to shoulder, skin to bone I’ve never felt so all alone Caught in the undertow of the human race Yeah, I’m just a shadow they refuse to face [Driving rhythm, building tension] (Bridge) Feed the machine, keep walking the line Wash it down with water, pray that it's wine But it settles like lead inside my chest A broken iron bell that won’t lay to rest I am the ghost they walk right through I am the cold ground underneath their shoes [Wailing Grunge Guitar Solo] [Slow, heavy bends into a massive build] [Desperate, raw rock wail] (Chorus) Yeah, I am drowning in the breathing Choking where the air should be Shoulder to shoulder, skin to bone I’ve never felt so all alone Caught in the undertow of the human race Yeah, I’m just a shadow they refuse to face [Music slows, heavy fading feedback] [Vocal fades to a quiet rasp] (Outro) All alone in the swarm Cold inside the warm Standing right here… But I’m already gone I’m gone… I’m gone… [End]
