He tied the knot, but this wasn't done at the altar. Hung himself out to dry, though he could never fault her. Paraphrasing something so sacred doesn't keep you warm. Teetering crooked floorboards, dictating the noose that's formed. A deity could never die no matter how many times he hangs his head. But you were never holy disappearing with the dead.

His Noose
He tied the knot, but this wasn't done at the altar. Hung himself out to dry, though he could never fault her. Paraphrasing something so sacred doesn't keep you warm. Teetering crooked floorboards, dictating the noose that's formed. A deity could never die no matter how many times he hangs his head. But you were never holy disappearing with the dead.
