Gallows

You work like every nail sunk

Every floorboard laid

Is another deed erased

Another debt that's paid

Like every story you've erected's

Gonna raise you up

So you keep slaving but it never

Seems to be enough

Now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground

So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down

When you find that you've come to the end of your rope

Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope

'Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from

You've been holding to a noose

So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from

And you got nothing to lose

So just let go, just let go

All of the wood's already rotting

Though you made it gleam

You've hidden every shortcut

Concealed each crooked seam

But every flaw will be revealed

Each imperfection shown

Oh, I can hear the wind howl

And the timber groan

Now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground

So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down

When you find that you've come to the end of your rope

Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope

'Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from

You've been holding to a noose

So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from

And you got nothing to lose

So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from

You've been holding to a noose

So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from

And you got nothing to lose

So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from

You've been holding to a noose

So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from

And you got nothing to lose

So just let go, just let go
