these days go
by like this
feel so weak
can't carry this
burden
that embodies me
my thoughts are firm
but my eyes can't see

that the rope gets tight
if you kick so hard
so just redirect
the road you're on
cause it's far from truth
and it's far from right
cause if not you'll be dying all on your...

and i wonder
what you see
it's like your eyes
glare through me
to a sanctuary
that isn't there
but still you look
and wonder where

the rope will get tight
if you try too hard
to reconstruct
what you stand on
cause it's far from firm
and you're far from right
cause if not you'll be dying all on your...

and it gets so
so very real
when we're face to face
but you just can't tell
that you'll always
have a way
to stand and face
the worst of days

but the rope gets tight
and it burns your neck
and i cannot help
what you don't respect
so just find yourself
and just search your soul
cause if not you'll be dying all on your own
