EMMA POLLOCK - This Rope's Getting Tighter lyrics

rate me

I drive through streets, I could walk for weeks

Full of life or full of loneliness

Whose eyes will I watch from

Today?

The day I signed, My horror signed

My glass was overflowing, celebrate

This rope's getting tighter

And someone is pulling me back to the start, Oh

I need something that I know now, Oh

Just too far away from home now, Oh

Just a sight or sound to trust now, Oh

Keep it simple, Keep me static

Just enough to lose the panic

Let me see the light again

I have to know, Where it goes

Needing from the inside out

This gut rot I could do without

So sinister, a pastime

I have to know, I have to go

So cut the cord, Throw overboard

This history that claims of me

My present, and my future

Both clear to see, Both bound to be

A replica, this life so far

I think it's time I raised the bar

But this rope's getting tighter

And someone is pulling me back to the start, Oh

I need something that I know now, Oh

Just too far away from home now, Oh

Just a sight or sound to trust now, Oh

Keep it simple, Keep me static

Just enough to lose the panic

Let me see the light again

I have to know, I have to go

Needing from the inside out

This gut rot I could do without

So sinister, a pastime

I have to know, I have to go
