Rope Burn

I will never let go of the end of the rope
I got a mile's worth of adrenaline ready to float
It’s no surprise that you're trying to rely on your hold
I'm gonna climb ’til I die, man, leave me alone

[Ice on bub?]
[With a lawn sized shrug?]
So infectious, you'd have to be a rock not to fall in love

Button to a bubble of dependencies
Boiling blood, so I can feel the flood
Not aiming to be famous
I'd rather walk aimless
You can call me content, but just another brain whisked away
From convention to crucifixion
It's engraved
I'm a little made for TV

Missionary, hairy chest, doesn't equal mammal
Is this the rite of passage, control channels
From the couch all the way down to corporate headquarters, borders
Crossed contracts, breached quarters

Reached the wrong play to mister bossman is late
But I'm not concerned with these primitive men
And I'd rather spend my time earning a good death and learning you the true value of a dollar is nothing more than burning it

I will never let go of the end of the rope
I got a mile’s worth of adrenaline ready to float
It’s no surprise that you're trying to rely on your hold
I’m gonna climb 'til I die, man, leave me alone

So where does the line draw me in
Connect the dots on my skin
Use this abusive feeling of being useless, lucid, and staring
Wonder why I'm here, like I don't compare in your eyes
And that’s unfair, you won't give a second chance
You won't even if you can, yeah you play deaf

And if I was in your situation, I'd be all ears, but that's the difference in personality between you and me
You might think, "Oh stop"
But I will never 'til I get to the top
There will be no measure between what I want and what I got
And that really ain't enough

So while you sit there and watch, I just don't talk
I do what I say and don't stay on the sidewalk
Off beaten path, lost in the last act, covered in ash
Don't ask no questions, just don't ask

Just let me climb to my destination
The rope's burning my hands, and I can't stand it
But damn it, I'll make it
Even if I'm broken in the end
They'll know I existed when I'm dead

[Spoken:]
[S1]: Word dude
[S2]: Did you like that?
[S3]: Yeah
[S2]: I thought that was dope
[S3]: Lemme hear it
[S2] (faintly): Aw dude

I will never let go of the end of the rope
I got a mile's worth of adrenaline ready to float
It's no surprise that you're trying to rely on your hold
I'm gonna climb 'til I die, man, leave me alone

I will never let go of the end of the rope
I got a mile's worth of adrenaline ready to float
It's no surprise that you're trying to rely on your hold
I'm gonna climb 'til I die, man, leave me alone

It's time to decide what we should be
This is like routine surgery
Doesn't matter what you've seen, rather matters what you haven't
Bet you can't imagine all the tragedy
It's sad to see that we're desensitized
Focus on the fact that my pale blue eyes see no surprise
So save it for the simple minds
[Minimal intervals living the outline of lies?]

And how could I try to not give up more than I do now
Let the truth out
Time is constant, it's never gonna die
Walk into this world with your head up high, let's try

I know you like I know myself, but we have never met
And you've always been the best at telling me just who I am
But if you miss me while you're with me, then I'm not who I should be
How I feel me's a lot more than you think

See I've been given a box to lay in
I've been given a thought to slay
I've been given some fingers to pray with
Then I've been a heart to break

And apart from the mark I make, I'm nothing but a stain
Already made with the foggy smokescreen that I breathe
The bugs don't judge, bruise root by the peel
They suck the blood from it, young make love, and reproduce
And you're sleeping with your mouth open (Check pulse!)
You're sleeping with your mouth open (Check pulse!)

But what's mine is yours
So I'ma set sail until I find the shore
Until I explore what I'm fighting for
I can't fight your war for forfeit, friend, 'cause

My spinal cord is tribal sorta like the dinosaur remains
Backbone waiting to go back home
Straight from the black hole chain full of
Head full of idling efforts, I'm mining for treasure

I will never let go of the end of the rope
I got a mile's worth of adrenaline ready to float
It's no surprise that you're trying to rely on your hold
I'm gonna climb 'til I die, man, leave me alone

I will never let go of the end of the rope
I got a mile's worth of adrenaline ready to float
It's no surprise that you're trying to rely on your hold
I'm gonna climb 'til I die, man, leave me alone

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I will never let go of the end of the rope

Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
I'm gonna climb 'til I die, man, leave me alone
