Tightened Up On Me

I could choose not to sever The body from the head To live a short while longer In all-consuming dread Of waking up enwrapped In coils about my neck And chest and stomach trapped Without a chance to check On children of the world To see that they are free Of evils that unfurled And tightened up on me Tightened up on me Tightened up on me Evils that unfurled And tightened up on me I could choose not to sever The body from the head To live a short while longer In all-consuming dread Of waking up enwrapped In coils about my neck And chest and stomach trapped Without a chance to check On children of the world To see that they are free Of evils that unfurled And tightened up on me Tightened up on me Tightened up on me Evils that unfurled And tightened up on me
