Sixx: A.M. - Suffocate lyrics

We never dropped the anchor We only held it off the side While you prayed our ship was coming I knew the wind already died Sometimes the undertow feels like the tide Sometimes the brutal truth It cuts you like a knife I was suffocated where I stand But I'm not just the shadow of a man You never asked for nothing I only wish you would've begged While the life through our window Fed like flies on the dead Sometimes adrenaline Is the only way that we survived And sometimes the bleakest days Are the only place to hide I was suffocated where I stand But I'm not just the shadow of a man Get away from the [?] picket fence How long will you wake up to the dead (Hold on, hold on, she said) (Hold on, hold on, she said) I'm just a dreadful vampire Sitting on this crumbling empire I dissolve and melt and crack And I'm the one that won't come back You can't ever smile You can't ever breathe You can't have my child If you're pregnant with me You can't have a soul And you just can't let it be Well sometimes the undertow It feels like the tide Sometimes the brutal truth It cuts you like a knife Sometimes you pray That someone throws you a line 'Cause you can't live if you're suffocating
