Rope Lyrics - Counterparts

Portraits of hope reflecting of 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 knew 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
