Rope - Empty Houses

Ten feet to the sky

Feet on either side

Nothing will save me

I’ve gotta save myself

Oh oh

Water’s creeping in

It’s darker than it’s been

Seems like nothing’s left out there

But a scratching call

Like it’s worth seeing the ground again

I keep hanging on,

I know I’ll get there someday

I’ll be free of this some way

But I’m doing what I can

I don’t need a rope anymore

Sinking deeper now

Voices getting loud

Grab the towel,

and let this rip your heart out

Grip into the might, my ankles covered up

It’s heavy and it’s hopeless

And my hands are shaking

And my fingers dripping blood

But I keep hanging on,

I know I’ll get there someday

I’ll be free of this some way

But I’m doing what I can

Doing what I can

If I get too cold,

I’m gonna bring you here with me

It hasn’t been easy

I’ve almost had enough

I keep looking up till light breaks through

The violent sky

Feeling closer to something tonight

I’m breaching in, I’m calling you out

To stay here by my side

I don’t need a rope anymore

I keep hanging on,

I know I’ll get there someday

I’ll be free of this some way

But I’m doing what I can

Doing what I can

If I get too cold,

I’m gonna bring you here with me

It hasn’t been easy

I keep looking up,

I don’t need a rope anymore
