Stranglehold

No feelings
We censored empathy
Our selflessness receded
No meaning
Lost in the trivial
Real concerns went unheeded

Feels like there's a truth that's never told
All the honesty's left out in the cold
Another minute gone, another lie that's sold
All my hope is gone in this stranglehold
Feels like there's a truth that's never told
All the honesty's left out in the cold
Another minute gone, another lie that's sold
All my hope is gone in this stranglehold

No
I choked on empathy
That they kept on spoon-feeding
I'm still breathing
I'll not be swayed by lies
I'll never start believing

Feels like there's a truth that's never told
All the honesty's left out in the cold
Another minute gone, another lie that's sold
All my hope is gone in this stranglehold
Feels like there's a truth that's never told
All the honesty's left out in the cold
Another minute gone, another lie that's sold
All my hope is gone in this stranglehold

Feels like there's a truth that's never told
All the honesty's left out in the cold
Another minute gone, another lie that's sold
All my hope is gone in this stranglehold
Feels like there's a truth that's never told
All the honesty's left out in the cold
Another minute gone, another lie that's sold
All my hope is gone in this stranglehold
