Strangled Songtext
von Jax Ryder

Woke up to those ghosts
Sitting on my chest again
Same old sins a smilin
Sayin"Let′s be friends"
Mirror don't lie
But it also don′t forgive
Just shows me the cost
Of the life I've lived
I poured out the whiskey
But I kept the glass
Prayin' that the future
Don′t repeat the past


Every bridge I′ve burned
Is a lesson learned too late
Just a lost soul being strangled
By the heavy hands of fate
I'm reaching out for grace
That I′m terrified to find
Searchin' for a flicker of light
In the shadows of my mind
I′m screaming at the silence
Just to hear a different sound
While the weight of my secrets
Is keepin' me pinned to the ground

I keep on countin′ the moments
That I shoulda chosen right
Every"I'll do it tomorrow"
That never saw the light
I wear my past like armor
But it cuts me when I move
Tried runnin' from who I was
But I′m still wearing his damn shoes


Every bridge I′ve burned
Is a lesson learned too late
Just a lost soul being strangled
By the heavy hands of fate
I'm reaching out for grace
That I′m terrified to find
Searchin' for a flicker of light
In the shadows of my mind
I′m screaming at the silence
Just to hear a different sound
While the weight of my secrets
Is keepin' me pinned to the ground

Redemption stands in front of me
Like it knows my damn name
Askin′ if I'm done with the damage
Or just better hidin' it today
I keep my head down low
When that voice comes around
′Cause hopin′ feels too dangerous
When you're livin this far down

I′m reaching out for grace
That I'm terrified to find
Searchin′ for a flicker of light
In the shadows of my mind
I'm screaming at the silence
Just to hear a different sound
While the weight of my secrets
Is keepin′ me pinned to the ground
