Gallows Lyrics & Chords By 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

And 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

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've got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go

I love the wood's already rotting, though you made it gleam
You've hidden every short cut, concealed each crooked seam
But every flaw will be revealed, each imperfection shown
Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the timber groan

And 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

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've got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go

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've got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go

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've got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go
