[Verse 1] I can feel it clenching Round my throat (ROUND MY THROAT) Each breath I take The more I choke (I CHOKE) [Pre-Chorus] Nails in my neck As the rope pulls close Feeling like there’s No hope (NO HOPE) Maybe I should just Let go (LET GO) Scream my lungs out But it takes control It’s a deathgrip Out of control Deathgrip… [Chorus] Every road I take Dead ends No escape (NO ESCAPE) Turn around To head back (HEAD BACK) But the ground (THE GROUND) Starts to crack (TO CRACK) Swallowed by the dark As I sink (I SINK) Hands reach up But they slip from the brink Every step I fake It just tightens the chain Caught in this deathgrip Dying in place [Verse 2] Wake up on the floor Teeth in glass Cold tile Shadow in the doorway Wears my face My smile Every promise that I made Written over in red Every “you’ll be okay” Ringing loud in my head (SO LOUD) [Pre-Chorus] Nails in my neck As the rope pulls close Feeling like there’s No hope (NO HOPE) Maybe I should just Let go (LET GO) Scream my lungs out But it takes control It’s a deathgrip Out of control Deathgrip… [Chorus] Every road I take Dead ends No escape (NO ESCAPE) Turn around To head back (HEAD BACK) But the ground (THE GROUND) Starts to crack (TO CRACK) Swallowed by the dark As I sink (I SINK) Hands reach up But they slip from the brink Every step I fake It just tightens the chain Caught in this deathgrip Dying in place [Bridge] [Drop to sparse guitars Whispered vocal building to screams] If this is all I am Just bones in a cage Then burn these ropes Set fire to the frame If I disappear Into dust Into smoke You won’t hold me You won’t hold (LET GO) [Chorus] Every road I take Dead ends No escape (NO ESCAPE) Turn around To head back (HEAD BACK) But the ground (THE GROUND) Starts to crack (TO CRACK) Swallowed by the dark As I sink (I SINK) Hands reach up But they slip from the brink Every step I fake It just tightens the chain Tear off this deathgrip I won’t die this way (I WON’T DIE)
