Knot Squeezes Tighter

When your life is all stressed
And you've done all your best
And the road ahead is winding
The goal that's been set
Is pushed farther back
Since the contract of promise is a few journeys yet
So the gold hills with sweet wine
Seems like a hallowed dream
But your followers of like mind
Will breach your loyal team
Now your burden is laden
With unsupported guilt
And the knot squeezes tighter on the dreams that you built

Now the dates have gone past
But the dreams seem to last
You're afraid to discuss with your loved ones
You will carry the load
And you take all the blows
Oh the anxious inside you is a whimpering toad

Any glimmer of hope
Plays tricks inside your brain
As you climb up that steep slope
And look out for the rain
Now your burden is laden
With unsupported guilt
And the knot squeezes tighter on the dreams that you built

Now the clouds are moving East
The sun is smiling pleased
Still the pieces are prying broken
You will need all the strength
To stretch the will at length
For the unforgiving pathway will take away your breath
Any glimmer of hope
Plays tricks inside your brain
As you climb up that steep slope
And look out for the rain
Now your burden is laden
With unsupported guilt
And the knot squeezes tighter on the dreams that you built
