Lasso

Years ago I tried to slip away
Moving like a freight train
Cutting through the yard
I been losing all my time again

There’s a silent
Reckoning that starts behind the eyelids
Dripping intravenous to my heart
Til I can’t feel anything

Switching at the surface
I tried and tried to say it
But it don’t relay
So Tell me something sweet
For the history
Something I can taste

Oh it makes me nervous
How I tried and tried to give
But it don’t relate
Tell me what you need
So I don’t I feel it
When the lasso pulls me in
Cos I let it
I let it pull me in

It’s a
Cycle
A spinning that turns slowly to a spiral
Moving through a spiral into habit
When the lasso pulls me in
I said it
Ill say it again
Its the same ride
A minute that turns slowly to lifetime
Moving through a lifetime into static
When the lasso pulls me in
I let it
I let it pull me in

Tie the loop
And swing the rope
Around your head
Swing it round
And round again
If you Don’t let go
Before you aim
Youll throw your rope
Around me again

Switching at the surface
I tried and tried to say it
But it don’t relay
So Tell me something sweet
For the history
Something I can taste

Oh it makes me nervous
How I tried and tried to give
But it don’t relate
Tell me what you need
So I don’t I feel it
When the lasso pulls me in
Cos I let it
I let it pull me in

It’s a
Cycle
A spinning that turns slowly to a spiral
Moving through a spiral into habit
When the lasso pulls me in
I said it
Ill say it again
Its the same ride
A minute that turns slowly to lifetime
Moving through a lifetime into static
When the lasso pulls me in
I let it
I let it pull me in
