The Rope

[Verse 1]

Talk straight, don't be an enemy

Foot race, dogs are chasing me

Tempt fate, blood is flowing

And I'm tired of tasting it

Tired of wasting it

Next step, you know I'm breaking free

Repent, under the hanging tree

My head, another bounty

And I'm tired of tasting it

Tired of wasting it

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'll never beat this, beat this

And I'm tired of wasting

'Cause I'll never beat this, beat this

And I'm tired of wasting

Board a train to somewhere, so far away from

[Chorus]

Hanging tree, none of us are free

No one's gonna lock me up

Short of killing me, killing me

And all I see arе the falling leaves

Choking on my own damn blood

This ropе is killing me, killing me

Killing me, killing me

[Verse 2]

I'm gone, on the lam again

Same song, be my only friend

Done wrong, blood is flowing

And I'm tired of tasting it

Tired of wasting it

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'll never beat this, beat this

And I'm tired of wasting

'Cause I'll never beat this, beat this

And I'm tired of wasting

Board a train to somewhere, so far away from

[Chorus]

Hanging tree, none of us are free

No one's gonna lock me up

Short of killing me, killing me

And all I see are the falling leaves

Choking on my own damn blood

This rope is killing me, killing me

Killing me, killing me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Hanging tree, none of us are free

No one's gonna lock me up

Short of killing me, killing me

And all I see are the falling leaves

Choking on my own damn blood

This rope is killing me, killing me

Killing me, killing me

Killing me, killing me

Killing me, killing me
