Matt Holubowski - The Warden & the Hangman Lyrics
Official




I saw you there
Face grim and arms bare
All in tears
Placed in the electric chair

All that you have been has suddenly become the air around me
As I breathe you in, I shiver in your place
For you have left your body in a haste
I never even got to watch you make a final blink
Your life is now a blot of ink
And I can hardly tell what it was that you had been writing
And now I crawl into myself

Like you held fast until morning in your cell

Though you weren't righteous, and you never knew what wrong is
I have loved you in spite of this, and I promise I will mourn you
And I'm glad that you forgave the warden and the hangman in your final words
I saw the man I knew was meant to be my friend until the end
I guess you were my brother, just not in a good way
And now I crawl into myself

And in time, I'll also crawl out of this hell

Fare thee well forever, I will suffer still a little longer
But I have no anger, no fear, no masks, no veneers
For today I saw the law break itself in awe
You have never done the things they said you've done
And we both knew, and now I know alone
And they will burn the whitest bones
Is this how we atone?
Now I crawl into myself

While they bury you in existential jail
