knots

I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest

And my neck and my chest

I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest

And my neck and my chest

I'm a, I'm a open book in a closed casket

I'm a, I'm a open book in a closed casket

I'm a, I'm a open book in a closed casket

I'm a, I'm a open book in a closed casket

Baby, I walk around with knots

Knots

Knots

Knots

Knots

Don't ask the question if you don't want the answer, oh my gosh

Ask what the news is, I became a nuisance when we tied that knot

Walked down the aisle, holding back a smile, how many years?

Like lassoing ocean waves when I try to hold back my tears

You told a story and you got to my name and it made you flinch

I became a stutter, I became a knot, I became a glitch

I'm tripping up, tripping over words, tripping over shoes

Tripping over me, tripping over you

Tripping over-, running out of room

Running out of knots

Knots (don't think about it too much)

Knots (that lump)

Knots (the lump in your throat)

I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest

And my neck and my chest

I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest

And my neck and my chest

I'm an open book in a closed casket (get it?)

I'm an open book in a closed casket

I'm a, I'm a open book in a closed casket

I'm a, I'm a open book in a...

I walk around with knots

Knots

Knots

Knots

(Knots)

On my neck and on my chest

Pulling strings 'til they intersect

Uh-uh, still in the carpool by yourself

I had to fasten up my belt

I cut chords if you couldn't tell

I don't fade to black, I cut to static (static)

I don't fade to black, I cut to static (static, static)

Tightrope, try to make it back, it's acrobatic

I hope you could get some luck from scratching at it (at it, at it)

Something's kind of rubbing off (uh, yeah)

Took it up another notch (uh, uh-huh)

Had to turn the oven off (uh, uh)

Puppeteered and strung along (mhm)

Uh-huh, stories end in "Never mind", stories end in record time

I know it's a cruel, cruel world, it happens every time

Get through yours, I'll get through mine

It's just another dot, dot, dot

Just another dotted line, I walk around with knots

Knots on my chest, no matter how hard my lungs try

Knots on my neck, try to speak but I'm tongue-tied

That knot's the strongest yet, I don't think it's coming untied

Cold in the room, cold ever since the sun died

Ever since the two sides turned into the one side

Two-faced people only look at you through one eye

Too late, seen you brought a rope into a gunfight

Shoe-laced evil, watch your step before you dust bite

Treat me like a dust mite, thought we had enough, right?

Knots like a fisherman, hooked me in with one bite

Knots like a businessman, tied the tie a touch tight

Not doing this again, thinking 'bout that one night

Knots

You took out that film too soon

There was light bleeding in the red room

I'll do anything but stand in front of the projector

I'd watch it all again
