lyrics

So much time's passed, I got all my hair back
but I ain't Samson, no I ain't the same
and I heard you, you got a new man
I heard you're, I heard you're, rockin his band

What is futile, what is useless
until I stop breathing these words have no meaning

Cause I'm just a knot, just a knot in the grain of your days

That red balloons deflating, that red balloon ain't leavin
like runnin' on ice with loose shoes laces
now I save my pages with matches so I can burn them
after they're written, I like to guarantee, despondency

Cause I'm just a knot, just a knot in the grain of your days

So much time's passed, I got all my hair back
but now all I do is write and think
So much time's passed, I got all my hair back
except now I write and think in red ink

I'm just a knot, just a knot in the grain of your days

Now that ring around your head
it's turning your face green
so I'll save my pages with matches so I can burn them
after they're written
Like runnin on ice with loose shoeslaces
I like to guarantee my despondency

I'm just a knot, a knot in the grain
