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

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

And 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

And I said it

I'll say it again

It's the same ride

A minute that turns slowly to lifetime

Moving through a lifetime into static

When the lasso pulls me in

And I let it

I let it pull me in

Tie the loop

And swing the rope

Around your head

Swing around again

If you don't let go

Before you aim

You'll throw your rope

Around me again

Switching at the surface

I tried and tried to say it

But it don't relay

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

And 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

I'll say it again

It's the same ride

A minute that turns slowly to lifetime

Moving through a lifetime into static

When the lasso pulls me in

And I let it

I let it pull me in
