HANGMAN

de Arankai

Spent last night watching flies crawl
Hearing TV static down a dark hall
Keep my secrets in bag, in the back, buried
Razorblade choke chain and I'm breathing heavy
Hail Mary, I have sinned again
I've been tryna cut off all my demons but we're friends again
Hangman, swinging at the end of my rope
I'm only numb for the moment cause I doubled the dose
Troubled waters sinking my boat
Face above the waves but I can't float
I been California dreaming every time my eyes close
Sleep is for the weak God I wanna sleep for a week though
Drugs in my veins I got lead bones
Paradise on the edge of my vision, I can't get close
I'm addicted to a kind of madness
Chasing white rabbits
Metal to my temple habit
And I've been driving all night just riding on a whiskey high
Cigarettes after sex in my car help to clear my mind
I have so many thoughts, but they get dangerous after dark

Softly, haunting, like
Bad dreams and melodies
Inside there's a quiet riot, hush hush
Silence right before the violence, hush hush
Countdown till I'm facedown, lying on the carpet
Lights out
Undermedicated
I keep my other side locked up in the basement
Bitch I bite back, do you really wanna see it?
Jekyll when I'm fine, but I can't Hyde what's underneath

I'm vicious every time show my teeth
Yeah I spent last night watching flies crawl
Hearing TV static down a dark hall
Keep my secrets in a bag in the back, buried
Razorblade choke chain and I'm breathing heavy
The only thing louder than my head is my stereo
Swan Song screaming out the radio
I'm a bottle of Everclear away to dismantle me
It's a Malatov birthday, light the candle and set me free
And I've been driving all night just riding on a whiskey high
Cigarettes after sex in my car help to clear my mind
I have so many thoughts, but they get dangerous after dark
Softly, haunting, like
Bad dreams and melodies
The only thing that's louder than my head is my stereo
Swan Song screaming out the radio
I keep my secrets in a bag in the back
Razorblade chain and I'm breathing heavy
