This Forced Hour - Choke

This night’s drone

Eased me into submission

Not speaking new assumptions

This downpour

It washes my ambition

And strains my tired vision

I’ll fold right now

If I don’t find a place to think

More than relief

Threat’s unsettling

I’m past the line

Of keeping nervously discrete

I want right now

More than relief

Lifeless eyes and tired smiles

Representing all the things

I’m keeping down

Lifeless eyes and tired smiles

Representing all the things

Somehow right now

Patience wore thin

And I don’t want to resolve

I just want an overview

And although I know

Will has weakened

A temporary step down

To refuel

This forced hour

Brings delicate decisions

With unsound intuition

This road worn

With fragile inhibitions

Has seldom been efficient

I’ll fold right now

If I don’t find a place to think

More than relief

Threat’s unsettling

I’m past the line

Of keeping nervously discrete

I want right now

More than relief

Lifeless eyes

Tired smiles

I can’t hide

These endless strides

Impatient sighs

Wear me down

Lifeless eyes

Tired smiles

I can’t hide

These endless strides

Impatient sighs

Undone

Somehow right now

Patience wore thin

And I don’t want to resolve

I just want an overview

And although I know

Will has weakened

A temporary step down

To refuel
