Waiting

I have some apprehensions
And those things that you didn't mention
Gave me some misconceptions
And left me with a million questions
Where have you gone?
I lost you somewhere down the road
And in this shell you fill you are a visitor
And I'm waiting for you to come home
Nothing I say or think
Is understood in the way I mean
I speak and words come out
But what I say doesn't make a sound
Where have you gone?
I lost you somewhere down the road
And in this shell you fill you are a visitor
And I'm waiting for you to come home

Knots
03:13

Wound so tight I nearly snapped at slightest stroke of string
Thought I had it all laid out, stitched up nice and neat
Now it seems I've caught a snag, unraveling at the seams
Lying here, abandoned, in a mangled, messy heap
Sometimes I feel like a knot that needs untanglin
Sometimes I feel unsolvable
They flipped a switch and rendered me powerless
And now I feel inoperable
So find me in the depths of the web that I have spun
A labyrinth of plans and dreams
And shoot down every one
Take it all for yourself, leaving me with none
I've given up, I'm giving in, it's over, I am done
Sometimes I feel like a knot that needs untanglin
Sometimes I feel unrecognized
They flipped a switch and rendered me powerless
And now I feel demagnetized

Rock Bottom

If this isn't rock bottom, then it must be close
If I haven't hit rock bottom, I don't wanna know
I'm a strong swimmer
But when you throw me in
With weights around my ankles
How am I supposed to swim?
And you give and you give and you give and you give
Til you're a bottomless pit, a bottomless pit
And it takes and it takes and it takes and it takes
Til you're wasted away, wasted away
Ideas percolate up from underground
But when you're playing to an empty room, do you make a sound?
And you give and you give and you give and you give
Til you're a bottomless pit, a bottomless pit
And it takes and it takes and it takes and it takes
Til you're wasted away, wasted away
