Each day ends up like you planned
But still written in the blood of another's hand
So bring the lights down low
Well one picture won't fix anything
Few'd rather sing
So tie a tie, tie it up to your throat
Tie a tie up to your throat
The thrill of the choke
The doors that you close
And I'm the one who tied you up in ribbons
Filled you up with Freon
Shook your mind away
I see people change
I see people stay the same
So let's not pretend
Each night ends up in a knot
It spills out in wire and string
But you'd rather sing
So give me time, time for this
For all the trouble your worried hands
Have sewn in my head
Tie a tie, tie it up to your throat
Tie a tie up to your throat
Who could have known
The door that you close is ours
I see people change
I see people stay the same
