Choking on the Truth

Sucking on a sucker
Running down the alley away
From worthlessness it's dusk
The lovely, pink sky eggs me on
Thinking of you
Roll this candy on my tongue

I throw a rock in the air
But it doesn't go anywhere
Like my spinning wheels
Reminiscent of this sugar lump
It seems to be lodged
In the center of my throat

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

Discreetly I try to cough it out
Try to scream and shout
Everchanging flights of ideas
My life is surely
Flashing right before my eyes

You have a way, you startle me
I laugh, I face reality
This is a pill of strong will
And as you intended
So hard to swallow

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

I am honesty and this is hard
You were everything I ever want
Your memory is sweet candy
The flavor's fading away

Sucking on a sucker
Running down the alley
Running over all the things
I could have done differently
You were mean to me
I didn't mean to be so real so pure

And honest and simple
And you make me sad
You make me mad
You're making me choke

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth

Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
Choking on the truth
(Choking on the truth)
I thought it was my candy
But I'm choking on the truth
