Well I didn't think that it would end like this
Cutting of the blood to ten
With a rope around my wrist
But I think that every one imagines why
And where it is they're gonna die
And when it happens do we fly?
And I wished I could have told my son
That I was the coward one
It's never admirable when your father can't move on
Well I never thought that you would slip inside
Your brother's unfaithful wife
While the children were down the stairs
I saw what you were doing
And I wished that I have burnt that goddamn door
Finding both of you on the floor
Realizing your brides a whore
Really takes an enormous toll
On your head
Well I didn't think that you could craft this song
Sleeping with the devil and all
And I can hear you sing along
And I wished that I could have told the Lord
To sever me at the chord
Cause the moment I left I'd never come back no more
So hope that it actually ends for me this way
Cause tomorrow is another day
And I have to decide to stay or stay
For now I'll keep my hands around this thing
And wait for an apostle to sing
You're never allowed to come in
So just sink or swim
Cutting of the blood to ten
With a rope around my wrist
But I think that every one imagines why
And where it is they're gonna die
And when it happens do we fly?
And I wished I could have told my son
That I was the coward one
It's never admirable when your father can't move on
Well I never thought that you would slip inside
Your brother's unfaithful wife
While the children were down the stairs
I saw what you were doing
And I wished that I have burnt that goddamn door
Finding both of you on the floor
Realizing your brides a whore
Really takes an enormous toll
On your head
Well I didn't think that you could craft this song
Sleeping with the devil and all
And I can hear you sing along
And I wished that I could have told the Lord
To sever me at the chord
Cause the moment I left I'd never come back no more
So hope that it actually ends for me this way
Cause tomorrow is another day
And I have to decide to stay or stay
For now I'll keep my hands around this thing
And wait for an apostle to sing
You're never allowed to come in
So just sink or swim

to sever me at the cord".
As in umbilical cord. That seems to make more sense to me, as he goes on to "talk" about the apostle telling him he's not allowed to come in. Thus, chose also seems the appropriate choice. We don't get to choose. His inaction would be easier for him to accept if God had forsaken him. Just my two cents.
