"Tourniquet" lyrics - THE CREATURES

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- you 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 & grind
Time after time

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