I'm hanging here at the end of my rope again
Wondering how I got to the end of my rope again
Praying to God from here at the end of my rope again
Painfully aware it's the end of my rope again

Stretched like a canvas
Nailed to a frame

Hanging here at the end of my rope again
Wondering how I get to the end of my rope again
Swinging like some laughingstock sort of joke again
Praying to God from the end of my rope again

Stuck in the rough

Hanging here at the end of my rope again
Wondering how I get to the end of my rope again

Dangling, I'm dangling
Swinging, I'm swingin'

Hanging here at the end of my rope again
Wondering how I got to the end of this here rope again
Swinging like some laughingstock sort of joke again
Dangling by a thread
Dangling by a thread

It's raining, it's pouring
