You said you'd show me the ropes
As you tied me to the tracks
Didn't help to struggle
Lies were good as facts

For years and years
You swore up and down you were over it
Your eyes had seen the kingdom
A born again misfit
Born again misfit

Unraveling up time these truths
Tracing all the writer's roots
Red rope binds and fast embrace
Some knots don't untie
Some knots do not untie

Pray for forgiveness
Cry for reprieve
Because these ties that bind
Don't come undone as fast as you'd believe
But for a new heart
It breaks but does not bleed
The red ropes are a viper's nest
You can never leave
