Momentary Relapse - Choke

Every glimpse starts to flicker

Feeling sorry never changed

This blinding pain

Narrow-sighted, I scour

As the pieces chip away

Long faces break

They break

This flame it burns stronger

The warmth it provides

Forget the past as

Burnt pages

They smolder

Lost sense of all time

A need to rewind

Gears turning inside

Turn over and over

And I ponder for hours

Everything means more these days

Good friends remain

Fuel the will to recover

Tears that slowly dissipate

I’ll bear this weight

No more

Strained chords

Heard from miles away

Distort

Distorted waves change phase

I’ll endure

Momentary relapse is delayed

Passed forth

Through the slow decay

Rebuilt

Built from travesties

I’ll endure

Momentary relapse is delayed

Desperate breaths

Will alleviate

This flame it burns stronger

The warmth it provides

Forget the past as

Burnt pages

They smolder

Lost sense of all time

A need to rewind

Gears turning inside

Turn over

Strained chords

Heard from miles away

Distort

Distorted waves change phase

I’ll endure

Momentary relapse is delayed

Passed forth

Through the slow decay

Rebuilt

Built from travesties

I’ll endure

Momentary relapse is delayed

Desperate breaths

Will alleviate

When I fall

When I break

These friends carry me through
