Tom hits in the dark
Low bass under skin
A body with no mute
I wake with my jaw set tight
Every breath hits back
My ribs keep the score
I fold and still it cracks
Hands on the table
The table answers too
Everything I touch
Comes back through
I try to hold it in
I try to lock it down
But the weight keeps speaking
Everywhere I turn around
A body with no mute
A body with no mute
It takes the bruise
It keeps the truth
A body with no mute
Light on my neck
Feels like a hand
Pressure in the floor
Pressure in the plan
I stand in the room
And the room stands back
Wear on the bones
And a slow black crack
I try to fold it small
I try to make it still
But the pressure keeps talking
Through every cut and chill
A body with no mute
A body with no mute
It takes the bruise
It keeps the truth
A body with no mute
If I go quiet
The body does not
It leans into the hurt
And holds the spot
No clean escape
No softer skin
Just this hard small life
And the noise within
A body with no mute
A body with no mute
It takes the bruise
It keeps the truth
A body with no mute

No Lower Setting
Tovin Ashke
Tovin Ashke's second album, No Lower Setting, explores a world that cannot be turned down, where light, sound, touch, and information arrive too strongly while the body tries to stay composed.
