Gallows Songtext
von Between Bodies

Silence
The royal cul-de-sac
It shatters you to pieces
Slowly breaks your neck
And all the sweating
All the shivering we′ve done is worthless
Longing for a warmth that only fire can give
You're just as dead, bring on the gasoline
We′re burning to be seen

Your soup has gone cold. My drink's warmed up
Is anyone listening? Cause I think you're not
It′s this mediocrity of everything
That keeps my eyes shut in the morning


I′ve seen you
Busy putting holes into the ground
Making seeds grow to be gallows
To let your fears hang down
And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving
You caught me blind in your headlights
Come find me on the other side

Silence
A hollow victory
Can′t really say how one tells it from defeat
It's been a long job piecing this together, love
A whole that must spell Death To Us

We must burn. We must burn
Drown in the heat


I′ve seen you
Busy putting holes into the ground
Making seeds grow to be gallows
To let your fears hang down
And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving
You caught me blind in your headlights
Come find me on the other side
And I′ve seen you
Busy putting pins into my eyes
So I can't see where you're going
Once we′ve said goodbye
And the cops can go to hell and take us with them
You caught me blind in your headlights
I′ll see you in another life
