Eric Bennett - Grow a Rope

Some say that self-sufficience is unobtainable
I do what I can to prove them wrong
There ain't a man, machine or monster big enough
There is no destiny after all

You mean to tell me all this work that I have done
These dirty fingernails, oh no
My back pressed up against the corner, guess again
There was a missing piece you never could have known

I'm movin' soil, I'm poking holes
I'm plantin' seeds of shattered hope
I measure twice to I only have to cut once
I've got the skills to grow a rope

Patience, thread by thread, you gotta work the whole night through
The only shred of light you see be the grinnin', blood-red moon
Pull tight, wind from the middle, joints ache, eyeballs dry
No matta, gotta go fast or I might have to answer why

I'm movin' units by the pound
I got enough to go around
Now I'm the joke, I'm the classic, great, white dope
But I've found my niche, I'm growin' rope

Patience, thread by thread, you gotta work the whole night through
The only shred of light you see be the grinnin', blood-red moon
Pull tight, wind from the middle, joints ache, eyeballs dry
No matta, gotta go fast or I might have to answer why

Praise be, scream hallelujah, as the bounty piles up
Loose leaves take shape in the tea at the bottom of your cup
My god, scream bloody murder as the bodies piles high
Sure as the sun gonna set, sure enough it's gonna rise
