Choke from Goodbye by Branch to Root
Choke is a song in which a person has reached their breaking point and they finally let themselves feel their anger. Instead of continuing to bottle it up it they throw it back at the other person without a care towards the consequences. It took me longer than I would like to admit to learn how to process anger and frustration properly. I used to either take it out on myself internally or say something I’d regret.

Lyrics
What’s a queen without a crown?
I’m so glad that we both found out I’m a Statue in your castle grounds
At least when I’m sleeping
I wanted to talk, I wanted to drag this out, I wanted to breathe
Your hands round my neck you know we won’t
And it won’t be the first lie I told
And it won’t be the last love you know
As I talk you through this
The words are useless
Do you remember what I said?
When I walked all the way to your house
You looked me up and down And stared me out
I think you were speaking of how I danced with the thoughts in your head
You made me promise to rip them all out
You looked me up and down and shared your doubts
I think you were speaking
Of how you wanted to talk, how you wanted to drag this out, how you wanted to breathe
These hands round your neck they know we won’t
And it won’t be the first lie I told
And it won’t be the last love you know
As I talk you through this the words are useless
And it won’t be the first lie you told
And would it kill you to grow some backbone
As I talk you through this the words I useless
And I hope you choke

Founded in 2015 as a personal project between friends, the band has developed an extensive and eclectic discography. Described in a Louder Than War review as being full of “fuzz, melody, and passion,” the record showcased their cohesive-but-oscillating approach to songwriting that has earned comparisons to bands as diverse as Basement, Death Cab For Cutie, and Manchester Orchestra.
