Yu said you'd show me the ropes
|
As you tied me to the tracks
|
Didn't help to struggle
|
Lies are good as facts
|
|
For years and years you saw up and down
|
You were over it
|
Your eyes have seen the kingdom
|
Born again misfit
|
|
Unraveling up time these truths
|
Tracing all the writer's roots
|
Red rope binds and fast embrace
|
Some knots don't untie
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Pray for forgiveness
|
Cry for ...
|
Because these ties that bind
|
Don't come undone
|
So fast as you'd believe
|
Beg for a new heart
|
Breathes but does not bleed
|
And the red ropes are a viper's nest
|
You can never lead
|
|
Having hired all the taints
|
And fixed a hollow man
|
You found a cure cure for a pain
|
Swore you'd never hurt again
|
|
Always be a prized fire
|
Even love begins the ropes
|
You'll always be a liar
|
Punch drunk on busted hope
|
|
[Chorus]
|
