Red Ropes (Atkins Nicole)

You said you'd show me the ropes As you tied me to the tracks Didn't help to struggle Lies are good as facts For years and years you saw up and down You were over it Your eyes have seen the kingdom 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 Pray for forgiveness Cry for Because these ties that bind Don't come undone So fast as you'd believe Beg for a new heart Breathes but does not bleed And the red ropes are a viper's nest You can never lead Having hired all the taints And fixed a hollow man You found a cure cure for a pain Swore you'd never hurt again Always be a prized fire Even love begins the ropes You'll always be a liar Punch drunk on busted hope Pray for forgiveness Cry for Because these ties that bind Don't come undone So fast as you'd believe Beg for a new heart Breathes but does not bleed And the red ropes are a viper's nest You can never lead
