Rope

Ten feet to the sky
Feet on either side
Nothing will save me
I've gotta save myself
Oh oh
Water's creeping in
It's darker than it's been
Seems like nothing's left out there
But a scratching call
Like it's worth seeing the ground again
I keep hanging on
I know I'll get there someday
I'll be free of this some way
But I'm doing what I can
I don't need a rope anymore
Sinking deeper now
Voices getting loud
Grab the towel
And let this rip your heart out
Grip into the might, my ankles covered up
It's heavy and it's hopeless
And my hands are shaking
And my fingers dripping blood
But I keep hanging on
I know I'll get there someday
I'll be free of this some way
But I'm doing what I can
Doing what I can
If I get too cold
I'm gonna bring you here with me
It hasn't been easy
I've almost had enough
I keep looking up till light breaks through
The violent sky
Feeling closer to something tonight
I'm breaching in, I'm calling you out
To stay here by my side
I don't need a rope anymore
I keep hanging on
I know I'll get there someday
I'll be free of this some way
But I'm doing what I can
Doing what I can
If I get too cold
I'm gonna bring you here with me
It hasn't been easy
I keep looking up
I don't need a rope anymore
