The Rope Lyrics

Sink slowly down.
Replay the thoughts in your head,
They’re poisoning me from within.
In my own personal hell
I can’t save myself

Is this the calling of an empty voice, or just another lie I’ll believe?
It’s a little bit more than something I can explain. That feeling; that thought of failure in me.

Do you ever look back and think on every choice while I’m dying silently?
Do you think that everything is meant to be? No take-backs, no mistakes, just the design of things?

All these paths to take and you still can’t decide your fate.

Indifferent, I guess. I’ll just bear the mark on my chest.
When I’m thrown away, I’ll have somewhere new to be.
I’m broken, at best. I’ll still bear the mark on my chest.
When I’m thrown away, I’ll have somewhere new to be

Born and raised tied to an early grave.
Disloyal ‘till the end; I’m just the martyr you made.
Memorizing our descent, I see the way it changes; I see the way the lie extends.

Why won’t you answer me?
I’m screaming at the walls until something talks back to me.
Is it too much to see?
The way I deal with the pain; the way I bleed?

All these paths to take and you still can’t decide your fate.

Indifferent, I guess. I’ll just bear the mark on my chest.
When I’m thrown away, I’ll have somewhere new to be.
I’m broken, at best. I’ll still bear the mark on my chest
When I’m thrown away, I’ll have somewhere new to be.
When I’m thrown away, I’ll have somewhere new to be.
I let you take control.
I let you be my home.
I always thought we’d be fucking indestructible.

I’d bury this. I’d seal away the darkest part of me, I’d push it deep inside of me before it consumes everything

I turn and walk away
Cause I can't look you in the face
Without reaching for the rope.
If it were wrapped around my neck,
You’d just sit back and watch me choke.
