Depotek - Hang Me High Lyrics

Maybe teases the senses
The proper words, they elude
A beating boils my blood
But not let's be crude

We dig down and dirty
Where skin speaks the truth
The lines we are crossing
They need not intrude

When the story ends it can begin all over again

When you hang me high, I will wear a smile
Cuz I want to die in the grandest style
And I won't be bound to an old routine
And I won't go down until you come clean

There is nothing nearly enough
To bring me back
And hold me to today
I could never come again
Even if you're leading the way
I've come too far, I'm much too far away

Blade sinking deeper, still
Right now I am in it for the thrill
Now Wait - don't stop - don't come any closer
Allow me to melt that ice-cold shoulder
To beat and bend and tightly defend
The old gods were cool
But cruel to good friends
Aware, awake, a life is at waste
A paralyzing loss to good taste

I will peel my skin to reveal my soul
And I won't give in to my self control
And I hold my own and I hold it tight
And it must be wrong if it feels so right

But there is nothing nearly enough
To bring me back
And hold me to today
I could never come again
Even if you're leading the way
I've come too far, I'm much too far away

Here I stand, in the future
A cascade of wool before my eyes
Cut loose at the suture
And feel the warm, relentless tide

When you hang me high, I will wear a smile
Cuz I want to die in the grandest style
And I won't be bound to an old routine
And I won't go down until you come clean

I will peel my skin to reveal my soul
And I won't give in to my self control
And I hold my own and I hold it tight
And it must be wrong if it feels so right

There is nothing nearly enough
To bring me back
And hold me to today
I could never come again
Even if you're leading the way
I've come too far, I'm much too far away
