Hey everyone! Here's a new recording of "Suffocate"! I feel this version is a lot clearer and hopefully you like it better! Initially, I had labeled this song "Power Poison." It was about the idea of "Power without character is poison." As a young person, I was so attracted to the idea of fame. As I've grown, I could not be more grateful that my career didn't blow up overnight when I was 18. The larger the influence, the larger the wake you leave. If the 18 year old version of my self had blown up, I'm positive that wake would've been so full of devastation and hurt. I don't want power/money/fame if I don't have the character to make good of it. So grateful to each and everyone of you. Never thought anyone would ever care to listen. You'll never know how much it means to me that you'd even give me a moment of your time. Hope you like the track :)

Lyrics
If I were a king I'd probably dream
Of bringing peace into the world
Noble deeds, heroic things
Until I'd seen the shining pearls
And all of the greed stored underneath
Could go and leak at anytime
I want him dead, they bring his head
An impulse ruins all their lives

I could be wise most of the time
But just one slip up makes them starve
And all this chaos makes its way
As I'm here feasting on their farms
The problem ain't they're never good
The problem's power taints the mind
A heart of gold will turn to stone
The throne's where good men go to die

Hold on to me, don't give up on me
If I start to sink would you reach for me?
I get so afraid, break down suffocate
Would you help me breathe?
Help me breathe

If I were to gain all of this world
Don't let them take away my soul
Don't want the arrogance, the ignorance
This selfishness I hold
Instant access is a flame
That I don’t think I can control
Don't let this ember enter in
If I’m not worthy of its load

Don't wanna hurt the ones I love
Don’t wanna let everyone down
I try so hard but I slip up
Lose my grip, fall on the ground
The problem ain’t they’re never good
The problem's power taints the mind
Don't let this heart turn into stone
Don't let these lights burn me alive

Hold on to me, don't give up on me
If I start to sink would you reach for me?
I get so afraid, break down suffocate
Would you help me breathe?
Help me breathe

Don't let me suffocate
In luxury
