Man On The Knot

Him and those four walls
The never-ending halls
Home built on anger is sure to fall
A young, broken man
One too many give a damns
Trying to fit in
With the wrong crowd again

Empty bottles on the table
Picture strewn across the floor
His mind been a racing
And he can take much more
He's drowning out the words that live in his head
All the "I love yous"
Should have never been said

They're leaving him scattered
Getting way too high wound
He's losing himself
Just trying to be found
He's breaking his back
To make a dollar last
It's the harder side of life
When the habits fight back

Pills all on the table
Team shots and cocaine
Missed the nights he was able
To still remember her name
Now he breaks down his body
As it drives him insane
To look back and remember
All the nights left in vain

He lost the one thing
That he truly loved
Asking God
How can he fuck up so much
It's an empty old house
On a vacant lot
With a note on the table
And a man on the knot
