DeCoy - By the Throat Lyrics

Peeling the skin, I'm born a new
You reached in because you wanted the truth
The sting of the flame couldn't keep me away
Scourging my skin, rebooting my brain

Abandoned but you're still here
I can hear them, wear the stain of their fear
Nails scraping against the grain of the steel

Bludgeoned
Repressed
Emotions
Invest

So many are dying to know how to be alive
But the same people are to blame for the hell inside
God's not, choking you with your own pride
Years pass, the trauma won't subside
Buried my dreams but my nightmares won't say goodnight

Forms of black surrounding me
Haunted since the age of three
The image burns internally
I hear their screams they've watched me bleed

And I thought by now I'd figure it out
But it's all been word of mouth consumed you're all down and out
When the f*ck will you just come around

And now I've got you
And now I've got you
And now I've got you
And now I've got you, by the throat
