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

And 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

I love the wood's already rotting though you made it clean

You've hated every short cut concealed its crooked seam

But every flaw will be revealed, each imperfection shown

Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the timber groan

And 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
