The Choke

The thing that leaves you in the darkness is her
The thing that maybe once seemed harmful is her
The lamp, the car, the door
The lamp, the slip, the floor

You wouldn't eat unless I told you so
I never knew that you would burn it so slow
The mouth, the breath, the smoke
The mouth, the breath, the choke
(Niagra) [repeated]

Who would have thought
I'm maybe caught
Who would have thought
I'm maybe caught
Lover, don't do anything!
The choke
Lover, don't do anything!
The choke

The thing that leaves you in the darkness is her
The thing that maybe once seemed harmful is her
The lamp, the car, the door
The lamp, the slip, the floor

Is this attention just a burden to bear?
A sick reminder that I didn't care?
The mouth, the breath, the smoke
The mouth, the breath, the choke

El Ahogo

la cosa que te deja en la oscuridad es ella
la cosa que alguna vez parecio peligrosa es ella
la lámpara, el carro, la puerta
la lámpara, el resbalo, el piso

no comerias a menos que te lo dijera
nunca supe que tu te quemarías tan lento
la boca, el aliento, el humo
la boca, el aliento, el ahogo

(niagara) (repetido)

quien lo hubiera pensado
puede que este atrapada
quien lo hubiera pensado
puede que este atrapada
amante, no hagas lo que sea
el ahogo
amante, no hagas lo que sea
el ahogo

la cosa que te deja en la oscuridad es ella
la cosa que alguna vez parecio peligrosa es ella
la lámpara, el carro, la puerta
la lámpara, el resbalo, el piso

esto es atención o solo una carga?
un recordatorio enfermizo, me importo?
la boca, el aliento, el humo
la boca, el aliento, el ahogo
