lyrics

Keep your smile to yourself
I buried mine in my backyard
I tore it off my face and covered it in tar

Broke my fingers catching colds
Dirty leaves are leaving scars
Beneath this bridge the water's gone
There's only dirt

So, I'll be waiting at the gallows

Off, off, off with your head
I must confess I'd rather see you dead
Than let you snake your way into my life again

Off, off, off with your head
I must confess I'd rather see you dead
Than bear the sight of you alive and well again

Sunlight shivers off your clothes
Dry lips now aching to extol
The taste of ink from words you've etched into my bones

Carve a socket for your soul
Upon the bench with arms that fold
But you can't kill the voice that's pressing through your skull

So, I'll be waiting at the gallows

Off, off, off with your head
I must cofess I'd rather see you dead
Than let you snake your way into my life again

Off, off, off with your head
I must confess I'd rather see you dead
Than bear the sight of you alive and well again
