Hanging Thread

Lyrics

Verse 1
Knot in the dark
Wrapped around my name
Hands in my throat
You came for the flame

Pulled too tight
Still I won’t go quiet
I spit that fear
I feed the riot

Steel in my chest
Mud on my tongue
You want me broken
I’m just getting spun

Pre-Chorus
Say it again
Say I’m done
I bite the rope
I bite the sun

Closer you pull
Louder I get
I’m not your answer
I’m your regret

Chorus
Hang me high, I’m still alive
Hang me high, I’ll tear the sky
Noose in my face, fire in my eyes
Hang me high, I’ll never die
Hang me high (hang me high)
I come back hard
Hang me high (hang me high)
I break that dark

Verse 2
Blood in my mouth
No fear on my sleeve
You built this cage
Now watch me leave

Brick by brick
I take it apart
Every mean word
Becomes a spark

You called it mercy
I called it war
I am the wound
And I am more

Pre-Chorus
Say it again
Say I’m done
I bite the rope
I bite the sun

Closer you pull
Louder I get
I’m not your answer
I’m your regret

Chorus
Hang me high, I’m still alive
Hang me high, I’ll tear the sky
Noose in my face, fire in my eyes
Hang me high, I’ll never die
Hang me high (hang me high)
I come back hard
Hang me high (hang me high)
I break that dark

Bridge
Cut me loose
Watch me rise
I was forged
In your lies

One more twist
One more crack
I turn that knot
Right back

Breakdown
I won’t fold
I won’t fade
I was built
To disobey

Hate me now
I don’t care
I claw my way
Out of there

Final Chorus
Hang me high, I’m still alive
Hang me high, I’ll tear the sky
Noose in my face, fire in my eyes
Hang me high, I’ll never die
Hang me high (hang me high)
I come back hard
Hang me high (hang me high)
I break that dark
