Simple knots tie me here Wrapped around my ankles Tethered in my hair Simple knots tie me here Here in the large oak Torn down to its seed Simple knots tie me here In the rickety banister That creaks on the wind Simple knots tie me here The dungeon that my demons lay The hole my mind fell in Simple knots tie me here The hole in the wall Made from blood Simple knots tie me here Screams of pain Shouts of love Whispers that beg Simple knots tie me here Porcelain Bomb shelters Well placed drawers Unusable locks Simple knots tie me here The slamming of the door The pounding of the ground The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here A poised knife Wrists too tiny Simple knots tie me here The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here Honey dripped sunlight Syrup in the air Shimmering dust Simple knots tie me here Twinkling trees Crinkling leaves Simple knots tie me here The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here From my core the rope From my throat the hands From my wrists the blade Simple knots tie me here The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here Here where the oak is cut to the seed Here where the laughter echos Here where the dust settles Here where the oak is remembered by its twisted feet Here where the knots were tied Simple knots tie me here Here where the bang died.

Simple Knots
Simple knots tie me here Wrapped around my ankles Tethered in my hair Simple knots tie me here Here in the large oak Torn down to its seed Simple knots tie me here In the rickety banister That creaks on the wind Simple knots tie me here The dungeon that my demons lay The hole my mind fell in Simple knots tie me here The hole in the wall Made from blood Simple knots tie me here Screams of pain Shouts of love Whispers that beg Simple knots tie me here Porcelain Bomb shelters Well placed drawers Unusable locks Simple knots tie me here The slamming of the door The pounding of the ground The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here A poised knife Wrists too tiny Simple knots tie me here The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here Honey dripped sunlight Syrup in the air Shimmering dust Simple knots tie me here Twinkling trees Crinkling leaves Simple knots tie me here The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here From my core the rope From my throat the hands From my wrists the blade Simple knots tie me here The bang The bang The bang Simple knots tie me here Here where the oak is cut to the seed Here where the laughter echos Here where the dust settles Here where the oak is remembered by its twisted feet Here where the knots were tied Simple knots tie me here Here where the bang died.
