Smile Empty Soul - The Rope Lyrics

Smile Empty Soul Lyrics

"The Rope"

Talk straight, don't be an enemy
Foot race, dogs are chasing me
Tempt fate, blood is flowing, and I'm tired of tasting it
Tired of wasting it

Next step, you know I'm breaking free
Repent, under the hanging tree
My head, another bounty, and I'm tired of tasting it
Tired of wasting it

'Cause I'll never beat this
Beat this
And I'm tired of wasting
'Cause I'll never beat this
Beat this
And I'm tired of wasting
Board a train to somewhere, so far away from

Hanging tree, none of us are free
No one's gonna lock me up
Short of killing me, killing me
And all I see are the falling leaves
Choking on my own damn blood
This rope is killing me, killing me
Killing me, killing me

I'm gone, on the lam again
Same song, be my only friend
Done wrong, blood is flowing, and I'm tired of tasting it
Tired of wasting it

'Cause I'll never beat this
Beat this
And I'm tired of wasting
'Cause I'll never beat this
Beat this
And I'm tired of wasting
Board a train to somewhere, so far away from

Hanging tree, none of us are free
No one's gonna lock me up
Short of killing me, killing me
And all I see are the falling leaves
Choking on my own damn blood
This rope is killing me, killing me
Killing me, killing me

Hanging tree, none of us are free
No one's gonna lock me up
Short of killing me, killing me
And all I see are the falling leaves
Choking on my own damn blood
This rope is killing me, killing me
Killing me, killing me
Killing me, killing me
Killing me, killing me
