Constant Knot

How much would you bet

That if I tried hard enough

I would spontaneously combust?

I wish I could disappear

And run away from all of my fears.

I think I'm coming undone.

So stay the night.

I promise that I won't bite.

'Cause without you there,

I don't think I can close my eyes.

How did I end up this way?

A constant knot in my gut,

Tied with uncertainty and with lust.

A classic case, I suppose,

A haunted man who can't outrun his ghosts.

They're in my skin and my bones.

So stay the night.

I promise that I won't bite.

'Cause without you there,

I don't think I can close my eyes.

And now I sing.
