This Rope's Getting Tighter
I drive through streets
I could walk for weeks
Full of life
Or full of loneliness
Whose eyes
Will I watch from today?
The day I signed
My horror signed
My glass
Was overflowing
Celebrate
This rope's
Getting tighter
And someone
Is pulling me
Back to the start
Oh
I need something
That I know now, oh
Just too far away
From home now, oh
Just a sight or sound
To trust now
Oh
Keep it simple
Keep me static
Just enough
To lose the panic
Let me see
The light again
I have to know
Where it goes
Needing
From the inside out
This gut rot
I could do without
So sinister
A pastime
I have to know
I have to go
So cut the cord
Throw overboard
This history
That claims of me
My present
And my future
Both clear to see
Both bound to be
A replica
This life so far
I think it's time
I raised the bar
But this rope's
Getting tighter
And someone
Is pulling me
Back to the start, oh
I need something
That I know now, oh
Just too far away
From home now, oh
Just a sight or sound
To trust now, oh
Keep it simple
Keep me static
Just enough
To lose the panic
Let me see
The light again
I have to know
I have to go
Needing
From the inside out
This gut rot
I could do without
So sinister
A pastime
I have to know
I have to go
I could walk for weeks
Full of life
Or full of loneliness
Whose eyes
Will I watch from today?
The day I signed
My horror signed
My glass
Was overflowing
Celebrate
This rope's
Getting tighter
And someone
Is pulling me
Back to the start
Oh
I need something
That I know now, oh
Just too far away
From home now, oh
Just a sight or sound
To trust now
Oh
Keep it simple
Keep me static
Just enough
To lose the panic
Let me see
The light again
I have to know
Where it goes
Needing
From the inside out
This gut rot
I could do without
So sinister
A pastime
I have to know
I have to go
So cut the cord
Throw overboard
This history
That claims of me
My present
And my future
Both clear to see
Both bound to be
A replica
This life so far

But this rope's

From home now, oh

To trust now, oh

Keep me static

To lose the panic
Let me see
The light again
I have to know
I have to go
Needing
From the inside out
This gut rot
I could do without
So sinister
A pastime
I have to know
I have to go
