Dead Rope Machine Lyrics by RISHLOO

Living As Ghosts With Buildings As Teeth

2014

[Verse 1]
When your dead rope machine grows cold
I'll make you another one out of gold
Oh, and when we die, a beast like everyone
We'll find you and remind you, you shined once

[Pre-Chorus]
C'est la vie, la vie
What may be has already been
It's all the same

[Chorus]
And you dance your magic dance
And you try so hard
You try to retie all those bitter ends
And push them back inside

[Post-Chorus]
Here's my halo
I don't think I'll need that

[Verse 2]
There's a stranger at the door
Cuts with frayed incisions
On the rope we hold
Oh, and when we die, a beast in all of us
Will find you and remind you, you shined once

[Pre-Chorus]
C'est la vie, la vie
What may be has already been
It's all the same

[Chorus]
And you dance your frantic dance
And you try so hard
You try to retie all those wicked skins
And push them back inside

[Post-Chorus]
Here's my halo
I don't think I'll need that!

[Bridge]
And I
Wherever I will go
Wherever I go
I wear that coiled fear
And in a way, the riddle ends
When we can but only and always doubt
So, let it all out
Let it all out

[Outro]
You and I will cut our nooses loose
You and I will draw a course
If you and I can find a few more minutes to
Find a way to find a road
You and I will never be alone
