Lyrics for The Wrestle
The crumpled ocean with No boat trip The dark waters stole My clothing The shape stirs beneath me A pulse pounds along blood streams First bite marks Beginning of The clothe-less wrestle The clothe-less animal Bare those teeth to me, please My eater You can see all of me Naked with fear This is the test I left land for To grip flesh and pull muscle Well, the vice grips of the struggle I can't give into, we owe The clothe-less wrestle The clothe-less animal Animal, animal, animal My enemy Please stay close to me No breath left Cold breath thief The last gasp of air, burst lung They fight fathers, the weak son The last taste of salt in my mouth The skin breaks, there's no sound They tore limb from limb There is bone, there is gristle I'm despairing The clothe-less wrestle The clothe-less animal Animal, animal, animal, animal
