wrapped up tight in thick ropes
suffocating, but no one knows

thought as an angel
yet slipping away
fading into nothingness
slowly; every day

choked up in that tight blanket
you're not letting go
sealed in a tight satchet
why're you taking control?

is this the only way you'll feel secure?
tightening your grip
you're hurting me even more
and soon you're gonna slip
