Lyrics
This rope’s been here forever
Since before I can remember
If I let go things fall apart
Caught in constant judgment
Try to keep it all together
That’s when it starts…
But the rope pulls fast and cuts my hand
On shifting ground where do I stand?
Our bitter plans for progress
Have paved the road to crisis
By tooth and root, grab hold the land
(Help me understand)
Help me understand
Keep your head down, is that the plan?
And I lose my grip
I can feel it slip
Bad news—we’re all in free fall
Good news is there is no ground
So I prefer to cut the rope
And drift into the nameless crowd
In the country that can do no wrong
you’ll go along…
This rope’s been here forever
Since before I can remember
If I let go things fall apart
When panic shapes reality
I cling to my impunity
That’s when it starts…
But the rope pulls fast and cuts my hand
On shifting ground where do I stand?
The more you look away, the harder to ignore
