Slow Fade - Choke

And the best thing right now

Is the fact that I’m picking it up again

Despite random thoughts of the end of it

Shallow comfort

That relieves me of doubt

And suppresses the lure of security

Sedating the call of reality

Shelved intentions

Seldom mentioned

Can I stay put for now

So the mess is now piling up again

And I shovel it under the rug again

Shallow comfort

'till the stress starts to show

And I’ll struggle under the scrutiny

Of what I thought was infinity

Shelved intentions

Back in question

But it’s the best thing for now

And the best thing right now

Is the fact that I’m picking it up again

Despite random thoughts of the end of it

Shallow comfort

That relieves me of doubt

And I’ll struggle under the scrutiny

Of what I thought was infinity

Shelved intentions

Back in question

But it’s the best thing for now

And I won’t

Count days

Slow fade

This living is sound

And I trust

There’s ways

To maintain

These truths that I know

…'cause it’s all that I know
