The Wrestle
Frightened Rabbit

The crumpled ocean is no boat trip
Well, dark water stole my clothing
A shape stirs beneath me
A pulse pounds along bloodstreams
The first bite marks the beginning
Of the clotheless wrestle with the clotheless animal

Bare those teeth to me please, maneater
You can see all of me, naked with fear
This is the test I left land for
To grip flesh and pull muscle in
The vice clench of the struggle
I can't give in to the weight
Of the clotheless wrestle with the clotheless animal

Animal
Animal
Animal

My enemy, please stay close to me
I've no breath left, you cold breath thief
The last gasp with a burst lung
The fight father, a weak son
The last taste of salt in my mouth
My skin breaks with no sound
I'm torn limb from limb
There is bone, there is gristle and spit
In the clotheless wrestle with the clotheless animal

Animal
Animal
Animal
Animal
