Dax - Suffocating (Official Music Video) Chords

_ _ Number one album in the world.
I told you to trust me and now we got it.
Dak, you're probably out celebrating right now.
Give me a call when you can.
We have to get that contract signed.
You don't have to read it.
I've gone over everything.
And remember, for tonight at the talk show,
keep it light, keep it positive.
Nobody wants to hear anything negative and just sad shit.
Your life is about to be changed, brother.
I'll talk to you soon.
Sign that contract. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ I'll just sit in my [Em] room.
Let _ _ [C] _ all the pressure and anxiety [G] build up.
_ Just let the [D] time pass by.
_ _ _ [Em]
At first I couldn't breathe.
Now I'm [C] suffocating.
Maybe the pressure from the fame isn't [G] worth what I'm chasing.
I don't know.
I used to say God's [D] playing.
Now the devil's on my team acting foul and it's [Em] all flagrant.
Trying to push me off the path that I'm [C] steady paving.
Sin is the currency and every day I'm [G] making payments.
I don't want to live in it, but I
[D] heard a saying good knows evil because the houses are [Em] both adjacent.
I don't know if I should go for these [C] goals.
I've seen people gain the world but lose they [G] souls.
My anxiety is building as the weight of it [D] grows.
I seclude myself in privacy inside my [Em] home
and I barely answer calls.
And when I see my [C] phone, I'm reminded
that the real feeling of being [G] alone
is having millions who love you but can leave you
or [D] say that they hate you at the moment
they don't fuck with a [Em] song.
I used to laugh it off.
Now I hold my breath and [C] suffocate.
Then I sit and wait just to [G] see if I can kill the hate.
And as I'm fleeting, I see [D] God at the heaven's gates
and come back [G] down to fight [Em] another day.
Then I grab that same phone and [C] smile and wave
upon my empty heart into [G] a song that they won't praise.
They say patience is the key, but they [D] didn't tell me.
While I wait, I'd be locked inside a [Em] steel cage.
Something's wrong.
I feel claustrophobic.
[C] I'm stuck living in the past, not the moment [G] or the future
where my life is only more broken
[D] because those wounds from the past are still [Em] open.
I take sips of love and every single time it's poison.
[C] I see women who can't see past my employment
[G] or see me as enjoyment, so I can't enjoy it
because [D] the ride's temporary
and they leave once they crash and [Em] destroy it.
I don't think this life is healthy.
Why didn't anybody [C] tell me?
Everybody'd want help, but nobody wanna [G] help me.
I'm an AGM, a therapist, and [D] everybody's friendly
and they hide their real intentions,
but my mind won't [Em] let me.
If I make a sad song, don't ask me if [C] I'm happy.
Fuck a hook, my pain [G] isn't catchy.
If you relate, or worse, feel [D] bad,
you'd be fucking pity me at least a check in.
If [Em] you ask me, that's the only way I know who it touches.
[C] That's why I stay awake and answer DMs by the hundreds
[G] so I don't lose myself and fill my stomach
with [D] the feeling that I'm here just to suffocate [Bm] for nothing.
If [Em] you know real pain,
then you'll see it when you look me in [C] my eyes.
I try to hide it, but [G] they do not lie.
I wanna sleep, but if I [D] try,
the demons will creep and my dreams will [Em] collide.
So I stay up and I stare at the ceiling
[C] and ask myself if I should even share these feelings.
[G] Then I hear a voice in the distance from a ghost-like [D] image
say my pain could be somebody's healing.
So [Em] I close my eyes and [C] drift to the place
that inspires these lyrics.
[G] And as I see flames and I scream,
[D] I pray it's a place you'll never have to visit. _
