Invisible Hands

It is a certain kind of nausea got me feelin' this way
Like when the waves get to rocking, wind it makes the branches sway
I pray to the Lord
I swore I wouldn't do it
The next thing I knew the devil put me to it

Invisible hands wrapped around my throat
Won't let me, baby won't let me
Go, oh, oh
Let me go

I wanted away from the devil
But the devil had me wrapped in chains
'Cause when the devil gets ahold of you
Devil got you cradle to grave
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to talk about it

Invisible hands wrapped around my throat
Won't let me, baby won't let me
Go, oh, oh
Let me go

Get her out
Gotta get her out of me
Her out
Gotta get her out of me
Get her out
Gotta get her out of me

Ooh, I know you think you know me
Tell me, Devil, do you know my name?
Or am I just another heathen screaming while you play your little games?

It is a certain kind of nausea got me feelin' this way
Like when the waves get to rocking and the wind it makes the branches sway

Invisible hands wrapped around my throat
Won't let me, baby won't let me
Go, oh, oh
Let me go

Get her out
Gotta get her out of me
Her out
Gotta get her out of me
Get her out
Gotta get her out of me
Her out
Gotta get her out of me
Get her out
Gotta get her out of me

I ask myself questions like
"What does your fear look like?
Is it a crow cutting across the sky or
More like the first quiver of a coming earthquake?"
I don't know
The attack always happens too quickly
I cannot account for the flash of Armageddon
What I do know is that
After the blast
I am only ashes
The choir sings Hallelujah from the oven
And a dove dies and dies against my window
A boarded piece I take
And to the tune of Hallelujah
I go back to proving my own destruction

The lonely avenue
The lonely avenue
The lonely avenue
