Ropes from Old News by Problem Dog

I keep trying to drown my sorrows away
But it seems that they know how to swim
So I take another drink to fill up the bay
That I keep all of my demons in.

A dull knife for a dull life
I wish at least one was sharp.

Cold nights with no light
seem appropriately dark.

These ropes
That held the bridge across this rift
Have broken
But I'll use the rest to climb this cliff
'cause I've never wanted anything more in my whole life than to reach the top
So I'll give it all I've got.

I keep having these dreams that haunt me every night
And you are the reoccurring star
Lighting up my mind like stadium lights
But your presence is still so very far.

And I've found that I'm let down
Every time that I wake
This town, the lights and sounds
Are reminders of this fate.

These ropes
That held the bridge across this rift
Have broken
But I'll use the rest to climb this cliff
'cause I've never wanted anything more in my whole life than to reach the top
So I'll give it all I've got.
