Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

The pullulating jungle of wallpaper

Filled with whispers, lisping and hissing

Closed in around him

Sometimes the voices quieted down and grumbled softly

Then exploded with a large tumultuous noise

Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

An exiled king who had lost his throne

An exiled king

Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

The pullulating jungle of wallpaper

Filled with whispers, lisping and hissing

Closed in around him

Sometimes the voices quieted down and grumbled softly

Then exploded with a large tumultuous noise

Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

A broken man, an exiled king

Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

A broken man, an exiled king

Who had lost his kingdom

Knot by knot, knot by knot

He loosened himself from us

A broken man, an exiled king

Knot by knot, he loosened himself from us

A broken man, an exiled king

Who had lost his throne

And his kingdom.
