Lyrics of
Sweet Hangman

You're breaking me down, tearing skin cells apart
Shove past my ribcage and unearth my heart
There's coils of metal, wrapped so fast and so tight
Reach in and melt them with soft motes of light
I'm nothing without you, well, I can't tell you that
So I'll conquer the world, I will crush cities flat
If it means one more night, buried in your embrace
I will carve out my eyes if they'll see your face

I could imagine your softness, would that make it worse?
So tie me the noose and let's see who blinks first
Angеl, won't you leave the cornеr of my eye
Be a sweet hangman when you say goodbye
Goodbye

And I'll offer myself up on a platter for you
A mess of intestine plates oxidized blue
Will I be you if you eat me alive
Make a home in my bones, the bee in my hive

I could imagine your softness, would that make it worse?
So tie me the noose and let's see who blinks first
Angel, won't you leave the corner of my eye
Be a sweet hangman when you say goodbye
Goodbye

You've admired all my cells
You've rewired my whole brain
You're ordering some well-done meat
We're running back home through the rain
You're understanding what I mean
Though I tend to exaggerate
I'm ironing your dress shirt sleeves
To hear the steam evaporate
Learning things that seem mundane
Can bring you such delight
Like Christmas trees
Or maybe me
Or frozen ponds at night
And there's nothing I wouldn't do
And nothing I wouldn't hurt
To ensure that me and you
Would remain embracing in the dirt
In the years after we've died
If we ever die
I hope we never die
I'll make sure we never die

I could imagine your softness, would that make it worse?
So tie me the noose and let's see who blinks first
Angеl, won't you leave the cornеr of my eye
Be a sweet hangman when you say goodbye
I could imagine your softness, would that make it worse?
So tie me the noose and let's see who blinks first
Angеl, won't you leave the cornеr of my eye
Be a sweet hangman when you say goodbye
Goodbye
N.C.
When you say goodbye
