The Rope - Currents

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 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 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
