Swaying The Rope

Guys you see arrogant like me

Stuck in the sea of urgency

The ticking time bomb that is the psyche 

Burns holes in my head as my brain radiates heat


When I told you I loved you it kept you at bay

There was nothing in you you could think of to say

When I told you I hate you it made you come forth

Watch as my mind distorts and fully warps


Ive got dirt in my nails from digging up my bones

The roots came in and solidified stones

 It has shown me the everything else that has grown

Cant bury the past when the past is all I own


Ive taken it back, Ive taken it back

Nothing will change all the things that I lack

Ive taken it back, Ive taken it back

Ive broke my neck but the rope never snapped

Not even after the asthma attack

Not even after the guilt fully racked 


Christ is a burden and Im sorry to say

My bodys too limp to get out of your way

Crisis averted and on the rope I sway

Not even Christ could keep me in my grave
