Rope

(album: Strike A Nerve - 2022)

We have the strength of pride
For those days remembered
But you take a look outside
Our days are numbered

It's all in your face
This hate and disgrace
What a crying shame
We all know the name

Screws turn, bridges burn
While talking heads take up my screen
Palms greased for the feast
The mouth gapes on this machine

A quick drop and a sudden stop
I hope, I hope, I hope
A quick drop and a sudden stop
Leave me enough rope

11:58
Come around, come around on us again
The hour's growing late
And I can't escape my skin

If the wall's too high
And snake's inside
If the wolves all die
Who will feed the lie

Screws turn, bridges burn
While talking heads take up my screen
Palms greased for the feast
The mouth gapes on this machine

A quick drop and a sudden stop
I hope, I hope, I hope
A quick drop and a sudden stop
Leave me enough rope

A quick drop and a sudden stop
I hope, I hope, I hope
A quick drop and a sudden stop
Leave me enough rope

Screws turn, bridges burn
While talking heads take up my screen
Palms greased for the feast
The mouth gapes on this machine

A quick drop and a sudden stop
I hope, I hope, I hope
A quick drop and a sudden stop
Leave me enough rope

A quick drop and a sudden stop
I hope, I hope, I hope
A quick drop and a sudden stop

Leave me enough rope
Leave me enough
