Thicket and Vine - Choke Up

I’m gonna bring you in

right by the fucking collar.

No, I’m not blowing smoke,

just giving you fair warning.

'Cause I don’t right my wrongs,

just chalk 'em up to failures.

My hands are powder white

from clapping out erasers.

You can burn a world of bridges

but you can’t kill the rescue mission.

I know the only time

that you feel alive

is when you’re working on dying.

Back when you were a kid,

you were fearless

and so god damn triumphant.

Wildflowers bloomed

where you walked.

The weather vane don’t rotate,

porch lights don’t come on at night anymore.

Casting contentions aside,

tearing through thicket and vine,

I’m gonna find a way

to bring you in from the outside.
