Dead Rope Machine

When your dead rope machine grows cold
 I'll make you another one
 Out of gold
 Oh, and when we die
 A beast like everyone
 We'll find you and remind you
 You shined once
 C'est la vie, la vie
 What may be has already been
 It's all the same
 ♪
 And you dance your magic dance
 And you try so hard
 You try to retie all those bitter ends
 And push them back inside
 Here's my halo
 I don't think I'll need that
 ♪
 There's a stranger at the door
 He cuts with frayed incisions on the rope we hold
 Oh, and when we die
 A beast in all of us
 Will find you and remind you
 You shined once
 C'est la vie, la vie
 What may be has already been
 It's all the same
 And you dance your frantic dance
 And you try so hard
 You try to retie all those wicked skins
 And push them back inside
 Here's my halo
 I don't think I'll need that
 And I
 Wherever I will go
 Wherever I go
 I wear that coiled fear
 And in a way the riddle ends
 When we can but only and always doubt
 So let it all out
 Let it all out
 You and I will cut our nooses loose
 You and I will draw a course
 If you and I can find a few more minutes
 To find a way, to find a road
 You and I will never be alone, alone
