Swing The Noose

Midnight came and went
I lie awake and speak with the moon
Broken in a million pieces again
I numb myself with the substances
It’s not the same
It may look that way but
The faces have surely changed
Give me the blame and I will bury it deep down
And keep it from surfacing

Swing the noose my way
I’ll hang here, I deserve to stay
Swing the noose my way
Until I’ve changed my ways
Never sink this low
I remember writing it on my arms
Looking down at skin, I see where I’ve been
And the burn inside my heart

It’s not the same
It may look that way but the faces have surely changed
Give me the blame and I will bury it deep down
And keep it from surfacing
Swing the noose my way
I’ll hang here, I deserve to stay
Swing the noose my way
Until I’ve changed my ways
How many times can I bring it down here?
How many times can I put it back?
