Lyrics

Suffocation

[Verse 1]

We were young heartbreakers estranged from our wealthy parents

Doing key bumps in a handicap bathroom

Stoned, complacent, ambivalent

Mass communicating with shared subconscious

[Chorus]

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

The western world

[Verse 2]

Homosexual sons of unfulfilled fathers

Divorced from reality, free and young

We were bashing our brains out on a kitchen cabinet

It was a televised crucifixion

[Chorus]

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

The western world

[Bridge]

In the western world

In the western world

[Verse 3]

We were star-crossed, we were destitute

Our words spoke mass destruction

We watched the sun rise in the morning

Daughters in arm, we all are orphans

[Chorus]

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

Suffocation, modern life in the western world

The western world

The western world

[Outro]

The western world

(In the western world, in the western world)

The western world

(In the western world, in the western world)

The western world

(In the western world, in the western world)

(In the western world, in the western world)

The western world
