By the Gullet - Nakhane

Seized me by the gullet again

Naked, a body that boasted youth

I immersed myself in it

And I bit into the dated fruit

I immersed myself in it

And I bit into the dated fruit

I stayed in there until my fingers pruned

It was then I knew that I was not ruined

I immersed myself in it

(Will never happen again)

And I could be found dancing again

In the back of a room of the Holiday Inn

With a glass and a grin

The light flooding in

Who knows me here?

All I know is that I’m living again

So I went walking

I’d never seen so much beauty in the face

Of a man so cunning

I immersed myself in it

Said I’ve been drowning

I immersed myself in him

Thought I was better

I thought myself loose-limbed and lithe

I was longing again

And I could be found dancing again

In the back of a room of the Holiday Inn

With a glass and a grin

The light flooding in

Who knows me here?

All I know is that I’m living again

And on the ground behind me

I left a trail of water

Loath to look back

Busying my mind with the strength

I wished to gather

(A benevolent will had summoned me)
