[Verse 1]
You tied my name in rope
Beneath your church of smoke
Called it mercy, called it truth
While the floor gave way in two
I heard the boards begin to crack
When you left my shadow black
Now the cold is on my skin
And I know what state I'm in
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull it tight
Say your prayer
I can taste the iron there
One more lie
One more grin
And the dark starts closing in
[Chorus]
The hangman’s curse
It lives in your hands
The hangman’s curse
Took all I had
Break that rope
Watch me rise again
The hangman’s curse
Will drag you in (drag you in)
[Verse 2]
Your smile is a rusted blade
Hidden in the bed you made
Every promise, every vow
Turned to ash inside your mouth
I walked out with a broken jaw
But I learned to bite the law
Now I wear the scar you gave
Like a warning in the grave
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull it tight
Say your prayer
I can taste the iron there
One more lie
One more grin
And the dark starts closing in
[Chorus]
The hangman’s curse
It lives in your hands
The hangman’s curse
Took all I had
Break that rope
Watch me rise again
The hangman’s curse
Will drag you in (drag you in)
[Bridge]
Hands up
Knees down
Hear the buckle hit the ground
No crown
No grace
Just the fear across your face
You made this
You fed this
Now choke on what you bled for this
[Breakdown]
Pull
The
Knot
(tear it open)
Pull
The
Knot
(watch it fold)
I was buried in your oath
Now I’m teeth around your throat
[Final Chorus]
The hangman’s curse
It lives in your hands
The hangman’s curse
Took all I had
Break that rope
Watch me rise again
The hangman’s curse
Will drag you in (drag you in)
The hangman’s curse
Won’t hold me down
The hangman’s curse
Is breaking now
Cut the rope
Let the truth begin
The hangman’s curse
Will drag you in (drag you in)
