The Rope

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 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 to 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
