Had Me By The Throat

I'm so wired, can't get no sleep
Sinking quickly, the water's deep

I was always in the plan
Comfort from a second hand
Couldn't fight the current long
Pulled me under, now I'm gone

Didn't see it coming 'till it had me by the throat
Trying to avoid it, water turned into a moat

Burning embers fall from the sky
Landing on me, I start to cry

Everything is better now
19 years of being down
I completely lost myself trying to please someone else

Didn't see it coming 'till it had me by the throat
Trying to avoid it, water turned into a moat

I was broken, battered
Nothing mattered, I was shattered
Now the healing has begun
I'm still your son and so I've won
I can't stop the hands of time
I'm in my prime, it feels sublime
Now the healing has begun
I'm still your son and so I've won

Didn't see it coming 'till it had me by the throat
Trying to avoid it, water turned into a moat
Didn't see it coming 'till it had me by the throat
Trying to avoid it, water turned into a moat

Didn't see it coming 'till it had me by the throat
Trying to avoid it, water turned into a moat
