Paroles de Tightened up on me

Verse 1:
I could choose not to sever
The body from the head
To live a short while longer
In all-consuming dread

Verse 2:
Of waking up enwrapped
In coils about my neck
And chest and stomach trapped
Without a chance to check

Verse 3:
On children of the world
To see that they are free
Of evils that unfurled
And tightened up on me

Chorus:
Tightened up on me
Tightened up on me
Evils that unfurled
And tightened up on me

(repeat all)
