This Rope's Getting Tighter Lyrics

I drive through streets, I could walk for weeks
Full of life or full of loneliness
Whose eyes will I watch from
Today?The day I signed, My horror signed
My glass was overflowing, celebrate
This rope's getting tighter
And someone is pulling me back to the start, OhI need something that I know now, Oh
Just too far away from home now, Oh
Just a sight or sound to trust now, OhKeep it simple, Keep me static
Just enough to lose the panic
Let me see the light again
I have to know, Where it goesNeeding from the inside out
This gut rot I could do without
So sinister, a pastime
I have to know, I have to goSo cut the cord, Throw overboard
This history that claims of me
My present, and my future
Both clear to see, Both bound to beA replica, this life so far

I think it's time I raised the bar
But this rope's getting tighter
And someone is pulling me back to the start, OhI need something that I know now, Oh
Just too far away from home now, Oh
Just a sight or sound to trust now, OhKeep it simple, Keep me static
Just enough to lose the panic
Let me see the light again
I have to know, I have to goNeeding from the inside out
This gut rot I could do without
So sinister, a pastime
I have to know, I have to go
