EMMA POLLOCK lyrics : "This Rope's Getting Tighter"

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, Oh


I need something that I know now, Oh
Just too far away from home now, Oh

Just a sight or sound to trust now, Oh

Keep it simple, Keep me static

Just enough to lose the panic
Let me see the light again
I have to know, Where it goes


Needing from the inside out
This gut rot I could do without

So sinister, a pastime
I have to know, I have to go


So cut the cord, Throw overboard
This history that claims of me
My present, and my future

Both clear to see, Both bound to be

A 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, Oh


I need something that I know now, Oh
Just too far away from home now, Oh

Just a sight or sound to trust now, Oh

Keep it simple, Keep me static

Just enough to lose the panic
Let me see the light again
I have to know, I have to go


Needing from the inside out
This gut rot I could do without

So sinister, a pastime
I have to know, I have to go
