[ti:This Rope’s Getting Tighter]

[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
