Too bright
Too close
Too fast
Still no switch
My mouth stays calm
My shoulders lower
The world stays up
And I go smaller
It will not bend
So I do
No Lower Setting
Nothing gives way
The room keeps arriving
I keep my face
Light on my hands
Noise in my teeth
Speed in the walls
Touch underneath
I look composed
That is the trick
Not feeling less
Just hiding it quick
Do not call it calm
Call it paid for
No Lower Setting
No softer day
The world keeps pressing
I keep my shape
I am not hard to live with
I am living through too much
I am not asking for silence
Just somewhere less sharp to touch
No Lower Setting
Nothing turns down
I stand here quiet
And spend myself now

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.
