Gallows

[Verse 1: Dustin Kensrue]
You work like every nail sunk
Every floorboard laid
Is another deed erased
Another debt that's paid

Like every story you've erected's
Gonna raise you up
So you keep slaving but it never
Seems to be enough

[Pre-Chorus: Dustin Kensrue]
Now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground
So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down
When you find that you've come to the end of your rope
Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope

[Chorus: Dustin Kensrue]
'Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from
You've been holding to a noose
So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from
And you got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go

[Verse 2: Dustin Kensrue]
All of the wood's already rotting
Though you made it gleam
You've hidden every shortcut
Concealed each crooked seam

But every flaw will be revealed
Each imperfection shown
Oh, I can hear the wind howl
And the timber groan

[Pre-Chorus: Dustin Kensrue]
Now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground
So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down
When you find that you've come to the end of your rope
Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope

[Chorus: Dustin Kensrue]
'Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from
You've been holding to a noose
So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from
And you got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from
You've been holding to a noose
So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from
And you got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from
You've been holding to a noose
So just let go, just let go

You built these gallows you've been hanging from
And you got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go
