Tied in Knots

Verse 1

Sour

Cold milk

Curdling in my gut

I skip the breakfast you made

Burnt toast

Scattered crumbs on the floor

Heavy metal hammers inside my ribs

Lately

You leave the room to talk

You hide the screen when I walk in

Chorus

My stomach is tied in a thousand knots

Thinking about what you haven't told me

The medicine cabinet is empty and dry

While I wonder who else is holding you

Holding you

Holding you

Verse 2

Swaying

Steady hands

But I am shaking hard

My head is spinning circles

Quiet

Bitter bile

Rising up my throat

I saw a name on the glass

Maybe

I am just acting out

Maybe I am losing my mind

Maybe I am right this time

Chorus

My stomach is tied in a thousand knots

Thinking about what you haven't told me

The medicine cabinet is empty and dry

While I wonder who else is holding you

Holding you

Holding you

Bridge

Pacing the kitchen tiles

Counting the cracks in the wood

I should ask

I should know

I should leave

But the cramps keep me pinned to the rug

Weak knees

Wishing for a simple flu

Guitar Solo

Chorus

My stomach is tied in a thousand knots

Thinking about what you haven't told me

The medicine cabinet is empty and dry

While I wonder who else is holding you

Holding you

Holding you

Outro

Turn the light off

Keep the secret

I'll just stay sick

Stay sick

Stay sick

Just a stomachache

Just a mistake
