Breathing Won't Come Easy - Choke

One day

You said breathing would come easy

One day

You said i’d reconcile

Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort

You said one day

I’d reconcile

Call it will

But I can’t seem to

Formulate these words I’m told

Will help me to escape

This state

It sways the way I overcompensate

For fear of getting overwhelmed

I’m getting overwhelmed

Smaller now

So I can’t reach the expectations

Placed on me

This brace will sway

And break in time

This common scene

That mocks my inability

To follow through

Breathing won’t come easy

One day you said

Breathing would come easy

One day you said

I’d reconcile

Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort

You said one day

I’d reconcile

Transfer

These troubles outward

They’re stood their ground

Now I should stand mine

So I explore

Measures to restore

Impressions that I

Want to leave now

So I transfer

These troubles outward

They’re stood their ground

Now I should stand mine

This I know

Breathing won’t come easy

One day you said

Breathing would come easy

One day you said

I’d reconcile

Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort

You said one day

I’d reconcile

So hard to unwind

What’s locked inside

Too long to reconcile

What’s locked inside
