[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

C'est la vie, la vie

What may be has already been

It's all the same

[Chorus]

And you dance your magic dance

And you try so hard

You try to retie all those bitter ends

And push them back inside

[Post-Chorus]

Here's my halo

I don't think I'll need that

[Verse 2]

There's a stranger at the door

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

[Pre-Chorus]

C'est la vie, la vie

What may be has already been

It's all the same

[Chorus]

And you dance your frantic dance

And you try so hard

You try to retie all those wicked skins

And push them back inside

[Post-Chorus]

Here's my halo

I don't think I'll need that!

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]

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
