Rope



Wake me up from this nightmare.
Where all I can hear is myself crying,
Where all I can see is myself dying.
Breathing but the heart is bleeding.
Can someone catch me when I let go and fall?

I take this rope with me.
To be the lawfully reason why.
I take this rope with me so I could die.
With this rope, I can reach the love that is too high.
Will this rope help me reach my dreams?

I can't keep myself from crying all night.
I've been dreaming of supposed to be reality.
Sadly, dreams are better than this things I see.
When I die, maybe I can finally be happy.
When I die, then finally they'll laugh in happiness.

And I tie this rope to me and smile.
Like a bridge to make me finally be free.
To make them finally be free from all the responsibility.
Cutting the wires inside me, so they'll finally jump in glee.
And I take this rope to be the lawfully reason why.

How I wonder their life without me.
Easier for them if I was never made.
Looking out for me and not even paid.
Please just stop this nightmare, I'm more than willing to trade.
Encaged, so wake me up from this nightmare.
