Stranglehold from Paradise by Anthony and the Mountain

i gave my body to the earth
i'd rather give it to you
my nerves they fire so hard it hurts
i'm wrist bound, and ground down

into smithereens
and i know i'm changing speeds
faster than i can't wring my hands tighter
i'm white knuckled and tongue tied
i'm still banging on these insides

the less i eat
the more i dream
the pearls that shiver
in the beams
and flesh of the center
you think i'd know better
what's all this body talk about?
if you translate the meaning
if you stumble on a feeling
let it in and choke it out
choke it out
choke it out
choke it out

i trace the creases in your nape
i'd rather live there with you
but your topography is strange
and i'm a cipher in the blue

into smithereens
and i know i'm changing speeds
faster than i can't wring my hands tighter
i'm white knuckled and tongue tied
i'm still banging on these insides

the less i eat
the more i dream
the pearls that shiver
in the beams
and flesh of the center
you think i'd know better
what's all this body talk about?
if you translate the meaning
if you stumble on a feeling
let it in and choke it out
choke it out
choke it out
choke it out
