Rope Lyrics

I took the words from your mother

I took the drugs but they put me to sleep

How will you tell your brother

I crashed the gates for a God I could not appease

Take your love back if it’s what you need

I’ve got to learn just what it takes to breed

Notions are the rope that won’t fit right

In other’s eyes

I’m worth half what I hoped for

Soaked both the promise rings in bleach

A blood stain on the carpet

That could fill a moat but not my body

Take your love back if it’s what you need

I’ve got to learn just what it takes to breed

Notions are the rope that won’t fit right

In other’s eyes

The ones I try to love are multiplying

And yet again

What I try to build

Just keeps on dying

Over and over again

My trauma surely shows the fear I mark

On everyone I know

Bereft I speak in tongues and moths explode

My eyes fixed on the one
