Lyrics
Torpor rolls upon me in a fog Settles like a sweat upon the skin Hungers for the lungs to empty, breathe the darkness in Heavily, the day hangs, on a thread Loaded on my shoulders hour by hour Each unfolding moment holds me deep down in its power Torpor has us tight within its grasp Studied in inaction day by day Painted in a corner by the gifts we give away I find it hard to breathe I can't maintain the pace Feels like I'm slowing irreversibly And there's no knowing where this leads For torpor has us tight within its coils Strangled in inaction day by day Painted in a corner, all adrift we slip away Deceleration down to walking pace Circling in search of a safe space I find it hard to speak The words remain unformed Feels like I'm slowing imperceptibly And there's no knowing where this ends No, there's no knowing where this ends
