The Rope

(альбом: I Let The Devil In - 2018)

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 that 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!
