The Rope Songtext
von Currents

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 'til 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
You'd just sit back and watch me choke
