Choke - I've Told Myself A Thousand Times lyrics

another minute into this position

not so strong spiral down

doesn't seem to be a reason

not to fold let go,

release the hold on vanity

you're not just killing time

staring at the faces betraying your own basis

can't sleep when discouragement's withdrawn

from all conscious remedies

stop pushing accept what you've been given

seems like you're trying for nothing

should know it won't work out always chasing

a distraction all your efforts

no reaction afraid to shed disguise

to reveal your fragile lies

you're caught in the promise that everything's alright

but not convinced that standards will be recognized

sifting through the doubting hoping

to validate lost time
