Smother - Frameworks

What happened to that urge

You’ve come to lean on?

The spirit to succeed

As necessity

Still strung you along

Someone left it burning

Somewhere shy of eye-shot

Quietly waned

Until it winced away

Then it left you on your own

But I’m fine

I swear I’m still trying

It’s just harder to focus

Lately, where to start

Success and what it means

With all its aimless meeds

Still hovering my head

But I’m fine

I swear I’m still trying

I’m here

I just need a little bit more time

To spell things out

To break them down

Time to catch my breath

To sit and sort it out

The spirit to succeed

As necessity

Came and ran its course

Quietly waned

Until it winced away

Then it left you on your own

The binding feeling of

Being swept away

Smother under

The weight to create

I can fix this

I can fix this

Smother under your weight

Now they all want something from you

Then just want something else

Now they all want something from you

What a gracious hole you dug yourself
