knots Lyrics By Quadeca

Knots is the 8th track on Quadeca’s Album I Didn’t Mean To Haunt You which represents the knots of his personal problems that resulted in his death, and it reflects on more of the haunting experiences of lingering in a limbo instead of traveling to the afterlife. Story-wise, it takes place right after he attempted to bring his family with him as ghosts or to the afterlife by leaving the oven on to poison them.

[Chorus]
I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest
And my neck and my chest
I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest
And my neck and my chest
I’m a, I’m a open book in a closed casket
I’m a, I’m a open book in a closed casket
I’m a, I’m a open book in a closed casket
I’m a, I’m a open book in a closed casket
Baby, I walk around with knots

[Refrain]
Knots
Knots
Knots

[Verse 1]
Knots, don’t ask the question if you don’t want the answer, oh my gosh
Ask what the news is, I became a nuisance when we tied that knot
And walked down the aisle, holding back a smile, how many years?
Like lassoing ocean waves when I try to hold back my tears
You told a story and you got to my name and it made you flinch
I became your stutter, I became a knot, I became a glitch
Unlucky tangles, I’m tripping up, tripping over words, tripping over shoes
Tripping over me, tripping over you, tripping over tripping, running outta room
Running outta knots

[Refrain]
Knots (Don’t think about it too much)
Knots (That lump)
Knots (That lump in your throat)

[Chorus]
I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest
And my neck and my chest
I walk around with knots on my neck and my chest
And my neck and my chest
I’m an open book in a closed casket
I’m an open book in a closed casket
I’m an open book in a closed casket
I’m an open book in a… (Yeah)
I walk around with knots

[Refrain]
Knots
Knots
Knots

[Verse 2]
Knots
In my neck and in my chest
Pulling strings ’til they intersect
Uh, uh, still in the carpool by yourself
I had to fasten up my belt, I cut chords if you couldn’t tell
Ooh, ooh, I don’t fade to black, I cut to static (Static)
I don’t fade to black, I cut to static (Static)
Tightrope, try to make it back, it’s acrobatic
I hope you could get some luck from scratching at it (At it, huh, at it)
Something’s kind of rubbing off (Uh, uh, yeah)
Took it up another notch (Uh, uh, uh)
Had to turn the oven off (Uh, uh)
Puppeteered and strung along (Uh-huh)
Stories end in “Never mind,” stories end in record time
I know it’s a cruel, cruel world, it happens every time
Get through yours, I’ll get through mine
It’s just another dot, dot, dot, just another dotted line
I walk around with knots

[Verse 3]
In my chest, no matter how hard my lungs try
Knots on my neck, try to speak, but I’m tongue-tied
That knot’s the strongest yet, I don’t think it’s coming untied
Cold in the room, cold ever since the sun died
Ever since the two sides turned into the one side
Two-faced people only look at you through one eye
Too late— seen you, brought a rope into a gunfight
Shoelaced evil, watch your step before you dust bite
Treat me like a dust mite, thought we had enough, right?
Knots like a fisherman, hooked me in with one bite
Knots like a businessman, tied the tie a touch tight
Not doing this again, thinking ’bout that one night
Knots

[Refrain]
(Knots)
(Knots)
(Knots)

[Outro]
You took out that film too soon
There was light bleeding in the red room
I’ll do anything but stand in front of the projector
I’d watch it all again
