There's a chill in the air today
The kind you feel only when it's being taken away
Tomorrow isn't a word I'll say
Just me and my dark collection of yesterdays
You want me to bleed for my life
And all I've ever done is bleed from the strife of it
Don't stop to think if it's ethical or not
But if it's a spectacle you want
So this is what it's come to
How relieving to see that it's me and not you
I'm still in line, killing time, humming some tune
Yeah, I'll be singing and swinging until my lungs blue
I guess I could've done business different in hindsight
Always the dynamite, raising my way through knife fights
Safer on the sidelines but craving the limelight
Executioner, baby, you know I like it tight, right?
Thinking back to how all of this even started
I was navigating, creating in lands uncharted
Wanted to leave you breath taking and broken-hearted
How fitting now that the rope's around my carotid
I'm too quick to only thank myself
Couldn't have done this without your help
Standing here is such an honor
I hear you cheering, I'm a goner (Woo-hoo)
I'm on stage at the gallows
When I say sink, you say how low
It's been fun, but it's time to go
I hope you enjoyed the show
That's all I really wanted, so
"Last words?", the man in the hood is asking me
"I heard you weren't so good with blasphemy", ha
Is it too late to take a torch beating passed to me?
Guess I'm down to hang if you're saying that's how it has to be
Pass the mic, life is nothing but a sad joke
Death's a blessing, no stressing 'bout being mad broke
Man, I'm just kidding 'cause sinning was hella rad, though
Forever laughing, then ask how I never had hope
I'm too quick to only thank myself
Couldn't have done this without your help
Standing here is such an honor
I hear you cheering, I'm a goner (Woo-hoo)
I'm on stage at the gallows
When I say sink, you say how low
It's been fun, but it's time to go
I hope you enjoyed the show
That's all I really wanted, so
I'm on stage at the gallows
When I say sink, you say how low
It's been fun, but it's time to go
I hope you enjoyed the show
That's all I really wanted, so
I'm on stage at the gallows
When I say sink, you say how low
It's been fun, but it's time to go
I hope you enjoyed the show
That's all I really wanted, so
Faces in the crowd, but I stare at the pavement
It's hard to swallow how my pains your entertainment
You applaud, can't even pay your respects right
Pray to God that you don't see me in the next life
