Someone wants me dead
From the neck and upwards
Rope weaved by these hands
Box of my toils

Coerced - dazed by a suckerpunch
Reeling - believing that these are the dues

Someone wants me dead
From the neck and upwards

Pitch back - throwback to a chastised youth
No quarter - stifled under a stich-up hood

To be made an example
Will stanch my deviant flow

Held a lever that only I can pull
Need a trauma to silence my loose tongue

Bigots want my head
On a plate to sound-out

Probing - exposing delicate core to full view
Damning - programming etiquette to suit
To dissect and reset
Will stanch my deviant flow

Held a lever that only I can pull
Need a trauma to silence my loose tongue
Group constrictor
Throttling a bond
Call a cull to silence our loose tongues
