Unthunk - Brother Dvi in the Pulpit Lyrics

It is happening again
In the corner of my eye
Hoops, convulsing coiling loops

And if I let down my guard
They will wrap around my limbs
Rings of winding, twisting ropes

Take a struggle step forward
Try to extricate myself
Tendrils only tighten 'round

Every action from my past
Ripple rings the present tense
Wraps until I'm lasso bound

Its a fine kettle of eels
Writhing in the swamp

Disentangling the mess
Lets agree to call it hopeless

Its a convoluted nest
Of tail-swallowing snakes

Disentangling the mess
Lets agree to call it hopeless

I need an endpoint
To make a clean start
I need a sharp edge
To cut myself free

An avalanche
A lightning bolt
The guillotine

Its happening again
That future echo din
Bright ringing in the rafters of the skies

It smells like I've been singed
My body feels unhinged
With twitching limbs and inside-out sunrise

Lost touch with gravity
Disturbing bouyancy
Uplifting me to foreign field of view

Erase my memory
My lolling tongue flaps free
Listen to me say things I never knew
