Chokehold by The Almost Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is what it's like to be me
Looking for a flashlight in a blank sea

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nothing but time on my hands
Nothing but blood on the sand

[Chorus]
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I'm honest
I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I'm like a child when there's no hope
I'm on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land

[Verse 2]
This is time and space, the in-between
Dreaming of an out and to be seen
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing but fear in my hand
Nothing but doubt in my brain

[Chorus]
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I'm honest
I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I'm like a child when there's no hope
I'm on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land

[Bridge]
Come on, use your heart and be grateful
Your father gave his heart for you to be hateful
He was the bastard man that put you on this goddamn island

[Chorus]
I come alive in the darkness
I come alive when I'm honest
I come alive when I can't see what is in front of me
I come alive in a chokehold
I'm like a child when there's no hope
I'm on a bastard island
Fatherless and desperate for dry land
