As you give me the push I find the fall not that tragic For death does not come from a rubber noose two feet longer then the gallows We built our homes on stilts to the clouds but found ourselves chipping away at the foundation of our dreams. Till the flooding river of anxiety at our feet swept us far from ourselves Breathing in the water of hostile thoughts and scared insufficiently.  Rectify ourselves still living upon the tower of silence just for the exhibitionist thrill. The black knight and the hangsman Dancing the century old waltz Is the noose tied around your neck or mine?

Knight you'll be the death of me, I swear.
As you give me the push I find the fall not that tragic For death does not come from a rubber noose two feet longer then the gallows We built our homes on stilts to the clouds but found ourselves chipping away at the foundation of our dreams. Till the flooding river of anxiety at our feet swept us far from ourselves Breathing in the water of hostile thoughts and scared insufficiently.  Rectify ourselves still living upon the tower of silence just for the exhibitionist thrill. The black knight and the hangsman Dancing the century old waltz Is the noose tied around your neck or mine?
