Gallows

I spend a year out in the desert
I spend a year out in the sea
I spell the nights into the stars
Just dreaming to sleep
I still question where I've been
I don't know where I'll go
I just look up to the skies
Like there's a sign I didn't see
I didn't know
Like there's a sign I didn't know

I know I lived a wicked life
I will never change my ways
An unapologetic runaway
Untill it's my last day
Why is it so easy to light a match and watch
We are made of dried up timber
We're made to turn to dust

Oooh take me hound down
Oooh at the gallows it was mercy I have found

So I went back to my home
And I burned it to the ground
The angel sat beside of me
And we watched it all fall down
I'm a loner of a lover
I'm a lover of my ways
So if you're here to take me back
There ain't nothing left to save

Oooh burned it all down
Oooh at the gallows it was mercy I have found
Oooh take me hound down
Oooh at the gallows it was mercy I have found

I made it to the edge
There is nothing left to see
I lit one last cigarette
The angel sat beside of me
I said I know you've got your job
He said the grace that I have brought
Is that your death is going to save you
From the things you're running from

Oh burned it all down
Oh at the gallows it was mercy I have found
Oh take me hound down
Oh at the gallows it was mercy I have found

Is at the gallows it was mercy I have found
Is at the gallows it was mercy I have found
