Withhold

[Verse 1]
Time for reason,
Calm and calculate
Something’s out of reach,
Something’s out of place
Search for feeling,
Find the right words to replace
Not everything has a meaning,
Not everything can be feigned

[Pre-Chorus]
Cheeks are stretched abroad,
Form the shape: a crooked smile
Only contact to relate,
To replace what’s lost inside

[Chorus]
It forms in the contact,
It needs to be told
I’m all out of context,
I’m stuck in one mode
It forms in the contact,
Don’t mean to withhold
It’s something so complex,
Something unknown

[Post-Chorus]
Collect the pieces that I’ve found,
Assemble a structure to house them in
This forced perspective will dissolve,
resembles starch and emptiness

[Bridge]
Concentrate, calm the senses,
Pause for impact, pause to figure out
Collate all emotion, drop defences,
Find the problem

[Outro]
No, can’t force it out,
Can’t find reaction,
Can’t feel a thing
