The Ropes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never thought I'd miss the mark, I lost my way
Comfortable with growing old, wore out my stay
Writing's on the wall tonight
Shadow proves the fading light
Invincible, but miserable; is this just fate?
[Chorus]
My life is on the ropes
I'm talking to myself, saying, "You're not alone
Not alone"
It's something no one knows
Save me from myself, I think I'll go alone
Go alone
[Verse 2]
Hesitate and complicate, I'm in my head
Locking up my house of love, I'll suffocate
Give me something to define
Truth exists to prove I'm right
So listen up, is that enough? My head's on straight
[Chorus]
My life is on the ropes
I'm talking to myself, saying, "You're not alone
Not alone"
It's something no one knows
Save me from myself, I think I'll go alone
Go alone
[Verse 3]
What's a name but everything? A calling card
Something I'll once in a while believe's a scar
It's not that I'm alone in life
Or hate what I've been given
I write it down, I spell it out, "I've come this far"
[Chorus]
My life is on the ropes
I'm talking to myself, saying, "You're not alone
Not alone"
It's something no one knows
Save me from myself, I think I'll go alone
Go alone
My life is on the ropes
I'm talking to myself, saying, "You're not alone
Not alone"
It's something no one knows
Save me from myself, I think I'll go alone
Go alone

What did Honest Men say about "The Ropes"?
I wrote ‘The Ropes’ in the fall of 2020 during the weeks leading up to filing for a divorce. It’s bizarre typing this out, having over a year of distance since that event, being in a completely different stage of life, and never having publicly shared what happened. While its been alluded to on soci...
