Burning Rope

Every day's like a fistfight with myself
This ain't going nowhere fast
I watch them slip away
I'm held up by a thread of this rope that's burning
I saw them suffer in their final moments
Which I didn't understand
It's hard to find hope when you're surrounded by first-hand failure
First-hand failure

I've prayed to a god who I didn't believe
'Cause desperation was all I knew
I've tried and I've tried to stand on my feet
But my mind just kept me to the ground
I've prayed to a god who I didn't believe
'Cause desperation was all I knew
I've tried and I've tried to stand on my feet
But my mind just kept me to the ground

I know this feeling all too well
'Cause every night is a living hell
I'm down on my knees, down on my luck
I'm down on my luck
I feel like this from time to time
But I'm not sleeping well at night
I'm down on my knees, down on my luck
I'm down on my luck, my luck

Keep moving forward

I've prayed to a god who I didn't believe
'Cause desperation was all I knew
I've tried and I've tried to stand on my feet
But my mind just kept me to the ground

I know this feeling all too well
'Cause every night is a living hell
I'm down on my knees, down on my luck
I'm down on my luck
I feel like this from time to time
But I'm not sleeping well at night
I'm down on my knees, down on my luck
I'm down on my luck

Never again will I let someone in
Never again will I let someone in
Never again will I let someone in
Never again will I let someone in

But I just kept telling myself
That if the struggle was easy, it wouldn't be worth it
Oh
