about

Rope Off The Tigers is the first single from Soft Plastics' 5 Dreams out on Paper Bag Records on June 5, 2020.

lyrics

Rope off the tigers,

They'll spill the tea

Their roaring upsets

Congeniality

Punish the waitstaff

My breath's the breeze

Turn your face towards

The filament of the East

My hope lashed to the lash-tower

Floating and free

Cracked caresses of a black storm

Alone in calamity

Rope off the tigers

They've drunk the tea

“Lash down that crate, man

You'll spill the cream.”

It dripped from the mist fronds

Of Galilee

No more light trading

No more green feasts

Rope off the tigers

A whim of my liege

Their wildness is soaring

They're on bad E

Their wicked slobber

Has infected me

I'll crawl to the doctor

And suss out his sleaze

My hope lashed to the watchtower

Such things as birds borne on the breeze

Danced and twirled as the sun beaconed strength,

Employees in the mangrove maze,

Unhinged with hospitality

Rope off the tigers,

Their “freedom” is an affront to those that are free

Rope off the tigers

Their freedom shall surely spill your tea

Beautiful and heartbreaking album, man I just want to hug the Minotaur and take away his pain. When I think of music that marked me I think of this album. _parangon
