Counterparts - Rope lyrics
[Counterparts - Rope lyrics]
Portrait's of hope reflecting off a
Blade that bears my name
Hanging inches from my head
There is no light bright enough to
Bring my shadow back to life
A presence that the fortunate
Weren't predisposed to feel
My seance of surrender will
Fall upon deaf ears
Promises I have disowned appear before me
Resembling the outline of my soul
Unravel me, every sentence makes me sick
Bound and abandoned by a noose that
Lifts me off my feet
Hanging like a halo overhead
I know your rope was made for me
Fading, I fall backwards into the dust
Positioned vertically
But a casket knows to catch me
Buried only waist deep in the earth
We carve the fading features of our
Silhouettes into our coffin doors
Hope is a blade that bears my name
I know your rope was made for me
Hope is a blade that bears my name
I know your rope was made for me
I know your rope was made for me
Blade that bears my name
Hanging inches from my head
There is no light bright enough to
Bring my shadow back to life
A presence that the fortunate
Weren't predisposed to feel
My seance of surrender will
Fall upon deaf ears
Promises I have disowned appear before me
Resembling the outline of my soul
Unravel me, every sentence makes me sick
Bound and abandoned by a noose that
Lifts me off my feet
Hanging like a halo overhead
I know your rope was made for me
Fading, I fall backwards into the dust
Positioned vertically
But a casket knows to catch me
Buried only waist deep in the earth
We carve the fading features of our
Silhouettes into our coffin doors
Hope is a blade that bears my name
I know your rope was made for me
Hope is a blade that bears my name
I know your rope was made for me
I know your rope was made for me
