Knots and Do-nots

You spin me
Out of breath
And cigarettes

You never lose
The thread of threats
That tie me to you

'Cause you are the best
At untying and retying
Knots and do-nots

I tug at what seems
And unravel into a longing
A prison of you

You give me your end
Beginning again to untangle
The twisted words
Wound around my thoughts

'Cause you are the mess
I'm untying and retying
You are the mess I'm untying and retying
Knots and do-nots

When strings snap they leave
Forget me knots under the skin
Even in sinning
