Lyrics

[ti:This Rope’s Getting Tighter]
[ar:Emma Pollock]
[al:]
[00:00.93] I drive through streets,
[00:02.71] I could walk for weeks
[00:05.00] Full of life or full of loneliness
[00:08.75] Whose eyes will
[00:10.65] I watch from
[00:12.40] Today?The day
[00:16.90] I signed,
[00:18.94] My horror signed
[00:20.73] My glass was overflowing, celebrate
[00:25.07] This rope's getting tighter
[00:28.33] And someone is pulling me back to the start,
[00:33.56] OhI need something that
[00:38.25] I know now,
[00:41.20] OhJust too far away from home now,
[00:47.69] OhJust a sight or sound to trust now,
[00:56.10] OhKeep it simple,
[00:59.68] Keep me static
[01:01.83] Just enough to lose the panic
[01:05.88] Let me see the light again
[01:09.28] I have to know,
[01:11.29] Where it goes
[01:13.13] Needing from the inside out
[01:16.87] This gut rot
[01:17.26] I could do without
[01:20.65] So sinister, a pastime
[01:24.30] I have to know,
[01:26.39] I have to go
[01:32.39] So cut the cord,
[01:35.74] Throw overboard
[01:37.74] This history that claims of me
[01:41.83] My present, and my future
[01:45.74] Both clear to see,
[01:47.68] Both bound to be
[01:49.73] A replica, this life so far
[01:53.82] I think it's time
[01:55.92] I raised the bar
[01:57.73] But this rope's getting tighter
[02:01.87] And someone is pulling me back to the start,
[02:06.76] OhI need something that
[02:12.85] I know now,
[02:14.23] OhJust too far away from home now,
[02:21.70] OhJust a sight or sound to trust now,
[02:29.40] OhKeep it simple,
[02:32.95] Keep me static
[02:34.85] Just enough to lose the panic
[02:39.33] Let me see the light again
[02:42.29] I have to know,
[02:44.34] I have to go
[02:46.19] Needing from the inside out
[02:50.14] This gut rot
[02:51.46] I could do without
[02:53.56] So sinister, a pastime
[02:57.10] I have to know,
[02:59.21] I have to go
