Crown for the Hanging

On the inside behind these walls where panes translate the light
You speak to me now a voice of chains in a well
In the carbon blue vacuum of night
And I invent with a head full of pills and antique liquors inside my chest
And I invent with a head full of pills and antique liquors inside my chest

Crown for the hanging, I rattle on and on and on
This never-ending, I forged you
Crown for the hanging, you rattle on and on and on
This never-ending, I forged you

Crushed black and blue like a heart over ice
Transplant you here into the chest of this night
Well, there’s a million different ways to say I'm alright
Bound my feet, bind my hands, and I'm tongue-tied

And I confess all the guards have been paid
Today's the day that I make my escape
Alone in the bed I will no longer lay
And watch the day evaporate
Evaporate, evaporate, evaporate

Crown for the hanging, I rattle on and on and on
This never-ending, I forged you
Crown for the hanging, you rattle on and on and on
This never-ending, I forged you

I never looked for the truth but you were that to me
I never looked for the truth but you were that to me
I never looked for the truth but you were that to me
I never looked for the truth but you were that to me
