Tourniquet

Pushing too hard - trying too hard
Force against force - negates itself
You grind & you grind
Time after time

So tightly wound so tightly bound
A strangling sound - ground to the ground
Unwind & unfurl
Unwind & uncurl

Land locked - turned to rock
Land locked - your power blocked
You grind & you grind
Running blind - running blind

Constrictor of thought - constrictor of breath
Toiling a square with a circular peg
You grind & you grind
Running blind - running blind
Land locked - turned to rock
Land locked - your power blocked
Stem the flow - tourniquet
Dam the tide - tourniquet
Wind & you bind
Time after time

Pushing too hard - trying too hard
Force against force - negates itself
You grind & you grind
Time after time

Stem the flow - dam the tide
Turn the screw - turn the screw
