Lyrics

You're obsessed
With the idea of the
Rope around your neck
Made of everything that
Kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with
The voice inside your head
Now your mind leaves you for dead
You wrote the tragedy that
Justified your ignorance
You crave repentance of the
Sins you gave a chance
I've seen the sorrow that
Infects that kind of mind
It's been a demon that I
Meet from time to time
You're obsessed
With the idea of the
Rope around your neck
Made of everything that
Kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with
The voice inside your head
Now your mind leaves you for dead
Playing the victim
Is the only trick you know
Air-tight deception leaves you
Helpless and alone
Why grant forgiveness to the
One who holds the gun
Why beg for sympathy
After all that you've done
You're obsessed
With the idea of the
Rope around your neck
Made of everything that
Kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with
The voice inside your head
Now your mind leaves you for dead
It's not my fault
I'm not ashamed
It's just the poison in my drink
I've tried to tell you once or twice
But you never wondered why
It's not my fault
I'm not ashamed
It's just the poison in my drink
I tried to listen once or twice
But I never wondered why
You're obsessed
With the idea of the
Rope around your neck
Made of everything that
Kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with
The voice inside your head
Now your mind leaves you for dead
I'm obsessed
(You wrote the tragedy)
With the idea of the
Rope around my neck
(You crave repentance)
Made of everything that
Kept my thoughts in check
(State for the record how you
Love to self discriminate)
I tried to reason with
The voice inside my head
Now my mind leaves me for dead
