Lyrics
THE KNOT SQUEEZES TIGHTER
© Stanley Loh - July 25, 2018
Verse 1
When your life is all stressed and you’ve done all your best,
And the long road ahead is winding
The goal that’s been set - is pushed farther back,
Since the contract of promise is a few journeys yet. 
Now 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 un-supported guilt,
And the knot squeezes tighter on the dreams that you built.
Verse 2		
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.
Verse 3
Now the clouds are moving east, the sun is smiling pleased,
Still the pieces are lying 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.
Oh the knot squeezes tighter on the dreams that you built.

I love this sing. A strong well crafted melody that I am sure I will hum the rest of the day. Lovely arrangement and super vocal harmonies.

Peter Yarow may want his arrangement back.  Do you know what the term "controlled dissent" means Stan?  The playing and singing on this record work perfectly.  Bravo!

Tight! So tight! What a wonderful iteration of this song! The words reflect entirely what I am going through today! The goal is so close, so open, I'm ready to score, but the ball remains heavy and unable to be moved however hard I kick it! Thans Bro, you've done a wonderful depiction of my thoughts!

@Daugrin  ... your comments are always intriguing! No I don't know what "controlled dissent" is! I know those words separately. Care to expound?
