This Rope’s Getting Tighter

I drive through streets,

I could walk for weeks

Full of life or full of loneliness

Whose eyes will

I watch from

Today?The day

I signed,

My horror signed

My glass was overflowing, celebrate

This rope's getting tighter

And someone is pulling me back to the start,

OhI need something that

I know now,

OhJust too far away from home now,

OhJust a sight or sound to trust now,

OhKeep it simple,

Keep me static

Just enough to lose the panic

Let me see the light again

I have to know,

Where it goes

Needing from the inside out

This gut rot

I could do without

So sinister, a pastime

I have to know,

I have to go

So cut the cord,

Throw overboard

This history that claims of me

My present, and my future

Both clear to see,

Both bound to be

A replica, this life so far

I think it's time

I raised the bar

But this rope's getting tighter

And someone is pulling me back to the start,

OhI need something that

I know now,

OhJust too far away from home now,

OhJust a sight or sound to trust now,

OhKeep it simple,

Keep me static

Just enough to lose the panic

Let me see the light again

I have to know,

I have to go

Needing from the inside out

This gut rot

I could do without

So sinister, a pastime

I have to know,

I have to go
