Rope Lyrics

I am holding to a hope that I can't reach

That I'm at least half as good as what you preach

That there's some way that I can finally find to cope

Cause right now all I see in front of me's the rope

My mind is full of all these dreadful shrieking things

And I'm not sure but I'm scared to know what that means

The way is dark and my mind clouds with waves of smoke

I need somewhere to stand before I start to choke

I don't want to die here

But I'll never get away

Someone take me down

Before they walk out of the play

I am broken

In this hole

Is destroying myself all I have to give me back control

So many years I spent pretending to be fine

You shouldn't be surprised I ran out of the line

To whom it may concern, I hope you'd disagree

But if you're reading this it's too late to save me

I don't want to die here

But I'll never get away

Someone take me down

Before they walk out of the play

I am broken

In this hole

Is destroying myself all I have to give me back control

What do you think you're doing

Who do you think you are

I'm stopping myself from hurting

Before I go too far

You think this is clever

You think this is fun

You think we'd be better

You think that I'm dumb

How could you ever think this won't hurt anyone

I don't want to die here

But I'll never get away

Someone cut me down

Before they walk out of the play

I am broken

In this hole

Is destroying myself all I have to give me back control
