knots - skip ewing lyrics
he was picking at a snarl of fishing line and kind of talking to himself
i asked, are you alright? he said, you mean my physical or mental health?
he held up his hand and said, it doesn’t matter i’m just thankful that you care
a lot of people pass me by, most of them completely unaware
you can’t see my future, know my past or feel the gravel in my shoes
i don’t compare my suffering. we’re all just different shades of black and blue
i’ve thought myself unworthy, been a shadow, felt my sanity was lost
but i somehow found the courage and the strength
to keep me working on these knots
he looked down at the filament. then held it up and asked what i could see
there’s memories that hurt so much in there my brain has hidden them from me
i thought of cutting bait, but in my mind it was a coward’s way to go
i gave up cigarettes and pills and booze to keep from k!lling myself slow
you can’t see my future, know my past or feel the gravel in my shoes
i don’t compare my suffering. we’re all just different shades of black and blue
i’ve thought myself unworthy, been a shadow, felt my sanity was lost
but i found the strength and courage, and the grace
to keep me working on these knots
sometimes one unravels and reveals me to myself
and sometimes i can manage running headlong into h*ll
other times, not so much
he didn’t want my money or my pity. he was happy just to talk
so we talked a little more of peace and war before i went on with my walk
my handshake couldn’t thank him for his service, but i think he knew my mind
we saw ourselves a little clearer in a mirror made of hope and fishing line
you can’t see my future, know my past or feel the gravel in my shoes
i don’t compare my suffering. we’re all just different shades of black and blue
i’ve thought myself unworthy, been a shadow, felt my sanity was lost
but i found the strength and courage, and the grace
to keep me working on these knots
i’m working on these knots
