lyrics

HANGMAN

I’ve held onto something all of my life
A lead pencil and an old cracked guitar.
I’m trapped in the hours of dread and desire
As boots pound the floor dragging the wire.

Hangman, please lift my veil
So I can see the dead sky
And feel the hands of time
Slip across my face.

The world is a jester, a dancing show
That bears down your mind in the heart of your soul.
To glance at this tree that I used to climb.
No longer a kid, no longer the time.
