Suffocating

In the beginning it was worth this
Do the worst, feel complete
Passing standards others meet
(What we do best)
Now perfect endings make you anxious
Heavy head, a colder sweat
Leaving nothing here, nothing to regret

In the beginning he felt he had finally come home. People didn't treat him as subhuman he was welcomed. Everything was fine until people began to heap their expectations onto him. His life was no longer his on. He was property a weapon here to do one thing and one thing only.

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Every year more and more pressure was put on him to be the Golden Boy the Savior of the world. He had lost so much and was constantly fighting to stay alive. Sometimes he felt crushed under the weight and felt as though he couldn't breathe.

I miss the old days that we murdered
They're so far gone, out of reach
Watch 'em fade with summer's heat
(Well it goes like this)
Without a break from this distraction
I need a change, a different scene
A new approach to coming clean

He needed a change a new start. He had done what they asked and still they wanted more. Wasn't it enough that they lay their problems on the shoulders of one boy. And even after he defeated the Dark Lord that their society had created but nothing had changed. They were still stuck in the dark ages and people were once again sticking their heads in the sand.

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

He didn't think he could take much more of this he had to get out. He had to just disappear. Maybe once he was gone and people didn't have him to depend on and expect to save them they would save themselves. He had decided he was leaving the wizarding world behind.

Still searching for a back door out of here
Reassured that old friends will reappear
Why am I still suffocating
Just hold your breathe deep and I'll keep waiting

Standing there with his friends that had been there from the beginning he took one last look at the castle that had been his home for seven years and turned around not looking back once. He had told them that they didn't have to come he wasn't even going to tell him that he was leaving but they could always read him so well and had just gave him this look like "are you crazy" when he suggested that he go alone. They told him that they were chose to follow him in first year and they would follow them now, and for that he was grateful. He left in the dead of night with his two best friends and has been missing every since.

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

He is free and happy. He no longer has to fight for every breath and struggle to live his live as he chooses and not have the world dictate what he should do and who he should be with. He had been a little surprised a few years back when his school boy rival had stumbled across him down but they had made peace both understood what it was like to be drowning under the worlds expectations. He was truly happy. He was no longer suffocating.

Just a little one shot this song has been in my head for days so maybe now it will go away.
