Anaconda — Slow Squeeze

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't choke you — that's the myth, the gentle lie they tell;
I just hold a little tighter every time you breathe out, and then... well.

[Chorus]
Slow squeeze — I'm in no hurry —
I take the breath you give me and I keep it for my own.
Not the air — the river of you;
I stop the tide inside and let you go to sleep alone.

[Verse 2]
Every exhale is a door I close and never let swing wide;
the heart can't push against me — and the lights go out inside.
You won't even feel the ending, it's the kindest cruel there is —
the slow squeeze, the still river, and the quiet after this.

[Outro]
(one slow breath out) … there …
