The Hands That Tied The Noose

I was born with a noose around my neck

And with each passing day I pray my feet suspend

Silence, it's deafening

Cut the atmosphere that I've ingrained

Within my cold and rotten soul

There's only hell to call a home

Render this vessel 6 feet deep

And pray you kept me on receipt

We live in a house of wax

We melt and we collapse

So flammable doused in gas

It can end at the strike of a match

Reveal the cracks now all that's left

Has smoldoured into ash

Praise the mother of endless voids

Opens her mouth to produce white noise

Dark liquor eyes, she'll surely drown on what's lurking behind

Father Time has made a fool of me

Inside, the child dead in me

Fall into empty arms

A lack of heart to scar

Falter; failure of family

You're all as good as dead to me

Failure of family

You're all as good as dead to me

Failure of family

Let tragedy stain this slate

Make an orphan out of me

I am longing deep in my bones for a sense of total normality

But a cancer weaves through my soul attaching to my anatomy

Only red can save me now

Lather me in dread as cries resound

Execution emancipation

Tragedy incarnate, let me stain this slate

Praise the mother of endless voids

Opens her mouth to produce white noise

Dark liquor eyes, she'll surely drown on what's lurking behind

We live in a house of wax

We melt and we collapse

So flammable doused in gas

It can end at the strike of a match

Reveal the cracks now all that's left

Has smoldoured into ash

Make an orphan out of me

Silence, it's deafening

Cut the atmosphere that I've ingrained

Within my cold and rotten soul

There's only hell to call a home

Render this vessel 6 feet deep

And pray you kept me on receipt
