The Rope Lyrics by The Damn Tracks

Second City Is Burning

2019

This house has worn me out, and it's watched you turn away
Well, I know I don't know where you're coming from
You hung your ghost up on the wall and marched into the sun
And you know, I was scared what you were going to do
And now your parties, they're all over. The champagnes all been drunk
And you know, I burned that bridge a long time ago
I ground my teeth down to the gum when I saw your orphaned son
And you know, I was here when you left us
But bit by bit, you were going down that broken road that brings you to no where
But bit by bit, though it brings you down, you can make it on your own
To all the ones I know, to all the ones that carry me home:
I couldn't tell you no. I couldn't stand the sound
To all the ones I know, the ones that come out to every show:
I never ask for help. I must be out of my mind
To all the ones I fucking bury in my songs when I'm feeling low:
We've all grown weaker now. We've all lost our self control
To all the ones I know, to all the ones that make me whole:
It could've been me. It should've been me
And he who sees a need and doesn't ask is on his way to denial
And the rope that fit around your throat is now on my own
