[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, driving drums] [Verse 1] [clean arpeggiated guitar, bass, and drums] It's a room that's quiet, shadows follow A single color cuts through the glow Burnt orange twists against soft skin Tight enough to pull the breath in No words needed, no chains or keys Just the weight of what you do to me [Pre-Chorus] [distorted guitar enters, palm-muted] Orange-crushed, gentle palms open wide But the heart is racing, nowhere to hide [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion, belted vocals] Orange rope wrapped around my throat Pulling me under, keeping me close Every knot says what I can't speak Bound so pretty, even so weak Orange rope, burning slow Tighter than love, deeper than know [screamed] Oh! [Post-Chorus] [guitar solo with wah-pedal effect] [heavy drum fills] [Verse 2] [drums drop to half-time, clean guitar] It bites and it holds, it frames and it frames The rise and the fall, calling my name Breath catches sharp when the tension pulls right A beautiful cage in the soft morning light Fingers stay still on the cool linen sheet While the fire you tie keeps a steady heat [Pre-Chorus] [distorted guitar builds] No escape, but I don't want to run The silence screams louder than anyone Every line drawn across my chest Tells the truth I have to confess [Chorus] [full band, aggressive energy] Orange rope wrapped around my throat Holding me steady when I let go Every knot says what my body knows Bound so pretty, losing control Orange rope, burning slow Tighter than secret, deeper than know [screamed] Oh! [Bridge] [drums drop out, feedback swell] [bass and kick drum re-enter] When the rope comes off, the marks remain Faint red reminders running through my veins I wear them hidden beneath my clothes Until the next time you tie me Orange rope [Outro] [distorted guitar riff fades] Orange rope [final drum hit]
