End of the Rope

How thoughtless of me

How dumb can you be?

Hopeless, wasn't that

What you called me and in fact

It was even more true than you knew

Where did the end of the rope go?

I forget now, did I let go?

After you left me hanging on your words

Which hung down like a rope

Where did the end of it go?

I'll never know

You're gone, but I'm still there

Clawing at the air

Now it's curtains for me

And I'll spend eternity

Doing joyless cartwheels in the void

Where did the end of the rope go?

I forget now, did I let go?

Long ago you left me hanging on your words

Which hung down like a rope from the sky

Where did the end of it go?

No one can ever know

Where did the end of the rope go?

I forget now, did I let go?

Once upon a time you left me hanging from your words

Which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky

Wherever did the end of it go?

No one can ever know
