The Hangman’s Song

I see your eyes, I see the despise
They radiate when they look into mine
So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones
It won't make a difference, cause I know the nothingness will carry me home
Heavy is the head that bears the crown
But you've cut me ear to ear, so I only wear a frown
I'll carry on while everything you own drags you down

I would rather live empty handed, than drown in a sea of what I own

I see your eyes, I see the despise
They radiate when they look into mine
So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones
Cause I know the nothingness will carry me home

I'm never alone as I wander on the wrong side of the tracks
Cause misery loves company
No way back
I belong to her and she belongs to me, so together forever we will be

I'll keep digging my grave, so you can bury me beneath my mistakes
I'll keep tying this noose from all the loose ends life has left me with
I won't stop till it's the perfect fit

So when you've said your prayers and you kick the chair
I'll be singing along to the hangman's song

When you've said your prayers and you kick the chair
I'll be singing along to the hangman's song

I see your eyes, I see the despise
They radiate when they look into mine
So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones
Cause I know the nothingness will carry me home
