Stranglehold

from Closer Than The Words by Dearest Raven

/

lyrics

I set traps around my house
To catch myself out
My clothes are on my floor
But I wear the self doubt

I pitch plans in black tie up your hands
I'm left feet if you had come to dance
I'm all head and you have so much heart
I stop dead when you warm up to start

I take pictures of my hands
I know them like them
I set practice against plans
Best 6 out of 10

I pitch tents in backyards of your friends
I make means out of this street's dead ends
I'm all head and you have so much heart
I look blunt, but touch me, I feel sharp

Dig a hole and fill it up
Am I too close to you?
With all the things you never took for you to see the truth?
Find a cave and seal it up in everything I do
You found the words but lack the guts
I do it cause of you

So tell me if you think we'll break the strangle hold
These young hearts growing old
So tell me if you think we'll ever really feel the cold
If sold out is how we're sold
