Ziah - Rope Burn Lyrics

Face of faded dreams
Love ain't what it seems
Burns across my hands
These empty desert sands
Falling from the sky
Nothing but a lie
Clarity erased
The bitter aftertaste

They say
Don't give your heart away
Until you find your stay
And I know
The past I must outgrow
To be no one's Romeo
I know

Cause I still feel the
Rope burn
Slow burn
Wish it go away
Fragments of myself, they're
Left to go astray
Deep burn
In my sleep burn
Slow but sure decay
Shining through the hourglass
And my edges start to fray

Months tick by it seems
Flashbacks of those scenes
Let me start anew
Begging back to you
Eyes dry at last
Can't escape the past
Melt the binding chains
Dismantle the remains

They say
Don't give your heart away
Until you find your stay
And I know
The past I must outgrow
To be no one's Romeo
I know

Cause I still feel the
Rope burn
Slow burn
Wish it go away
Fragments of myself, they're
Left to go astray
Deep burn
In my sleep burn
Slow but sure decay
Shining through the hourglass
And my edges start to fray

Yeah I still feel the
Rope burn
Low burn
Reticently hollow
Try to hold it longer
But the waves will only follow
Positive impediment
Cause I still feel the sentiment
Ill-fated causes wait to sting
The nature that it was a fling
Unzip it, tear the body bag
It won't be quite a drag
Keep your head high
Cause we ain't raising white flags
Keep a straight face
And a tight love
And breakout here
To be the very someone that you couldn't beat last year

They say
Don't give your heart away
Until you find your stay
And I know
The past I must outgrow
To be no one's Romeo
I know
