Chokehold Lyrics by Hyliskie

2025

Fading out and fading in
Where you end and I begin
We're not meant for one another
So why can't we leave each other
You say we've gotta cut it off
Then you turn up at the door
Smooth like a knife that cuts so soft
Blunt words escape to leave us sore
Lost the sparkle lost the shine
Was it all a waste of time?
Maybe we have to lose it now
To meet again another life
We got so hung up on the how
Forgot to focus on the why
We can't go back to how it was
We can't gеt back to simple times
All the kindnеss seems so forced
Oh I just wanna see you smile
Yeah it has been far too long
You've been unhappy for a while
I'm not leaving this ring tonight
Spill my blood across the leather
Heavy weight shines in the light
Heavyweight against the feather
Married to the hate inside
Gladiating to-the-deather
There's only losers in this fight
When we argue every night
And we argue every day
You slap and punch me in the face
And I kick you in the teeth
They're fucking lying when they say
That love is great because its free
Everything comes with a cost
And it's one you can't afford
It's just another fucking scheme
To pit the poor against the poor
I wanna cry I wanna scream
If you wanna fucking fight then we'll fucking go to war
It's not whether you get knocked down
They say it's whether you get up
Sometimes it's better to tap out
Than to throw another punch
Can we stop and take a moment?
Can you remember if you think
Perfect pictures in stop motion
You were the answer to the hymns
You were shining you were glowing
You were the yang to my yin
Never thought we'd be opponents
Fading out and fading in
Fading out and fading in
Where you end and I begin
We're not meant for one another
So why can't we leave each other?
Kinda funny how dependence
Means you're the last thing I need
When you're away I get withdrawals
When you're back there's no relief
Don't understand I just don't get it
What is missing what is different?
Am I too blind to see the message
Has the trauma blurred my vision?
This is the one time that a story
Wasn't meant to have an ending
On my knees and I am trembling
I just wanna say I'm sorry
There's no use in us pretending
That there's anything remaining
Between us that's worth defending
We'll walk away while its still raining
I'm not leaving this ring tonight
Spill my blood across the leather
Heavy weight shines in the light
Heavyweight against the feather
Married to the hate inside
Gladiating to-the-deather
Not leaving this ring tonight
Carry me out on a stretcher
There's only losers in this fight
When we argue every night
And we argue every day
You slap and punch me in the face
And I kick you in the teeth
They're fucking lying when they say
That love is great because its free (Love is great because its free)
Everything comes with a cost (Love is great because its free)
And it's one you can't afford (Love is great because its free)
It's just another fucking scheme (Love is great because its free)
To pit the poor against the poor (Love is perfect in a dream)
I wanna cry I wanna scream (Love is great because its free)
I am dying just to feel like I could fly within a dream
If you wanna fucking fight then we'll fucking go to war
