Length Of Rope

lyrics

LENGTH OF ROPE

I don’t need a length of rope, I don’t need a .45
I don’t need to kill myself to be sure that I’ll die
It may not be tomorrow, may not be this year
but every trace of my existence is bound to disappear

So I try to be a father and I try to write some songs
and accept sometimes I will be knowing right and going wrong
Cause it’s not always easy, I guess it’s not supposed to be
they say you’re only living truly if you’re truly living free

But freedom’s only fleeting: Rorschach castles in the sky
the rushing water of the river and a teardrop in my eye

Tonight I want a lover, I don’t wanna fight
I don’t wanna kill myself and I don’t wanna die
And after all the girls have gone, I still got my guitar
and I tell her all my thoughts out beneath the stars
