Original version on "Squall Echo Rale" album

lyrics

Rope

I’m forging quite a career in suppression
Whether passive aggression or a spineless silence
And I can’t remember if this ever helped anyone
But at least it worked for me

I’ve got my stairs
You’ve got your rope
Let’s meet in 10
On the 12th floor
Oh don’t look at me like that
We all have birthrights, don’t we?

It’s not my fault, and anyway
The stairs are so steep
It’s not my fault, and anyway
You’re so lucky
I have nothing
And you’ve still got your rope

I’m forging quite a career in suppression
Whether passive aggression or a spineless silence
And I can’t remember if this ever helped anyone
But at least it worked for me
I used to think it worked for me

You’ve got your load
And I’ve got mine
If no one’s helping
Why should I?
Oh don’t look at me like that
It makes me itch to see you

It’s not my fault
But, anyway, it still pains me
It’s not my fault
So couldn’t you make it easy?
I’m no mountaineer
What’s wrong with your rope?
Little more than nothing
And you still have your, you still have your

I’m forging quite a career in suppression
Whether passive aggression or a spineless silence
And I can’t remember if this ever helped anyone
But at least it worked for me
I used to think it worked for me
This never really worked for me
