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 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
