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
