Texas In July - Nooses lyrics

rate me

This blister has made a permanent stay

Upon the fingers plagued by a hand

A hand that couldn’t bear to raise up, be seen

And speak like a man

Bury me, let me lay

I’ll be right there when you look away

Bury me, let me lay

Remember me when I’m dead I’m dead

Instrumental

Asphyxiating in water so cold

Frigid straight to the marrow

Pushed down, buried deep inside

Where no light can shine through

To live within weakened thoughts and brittle bones

Bury me

Let me lay

I’ll be right there when you look away

Bury me

Let me lay

Remember me when I’m dead I’m dead

You start to go under

The waterline feels like a noose

With every step the surface gets closer to your neck

This sovereign baptism is the last thing

You’ll have the chance to disrespect

Wicked tongues lick the silver spoon

And the timid become the footpath

While you turn away

Bury me

Let me lay

I’ll be right there when you look away

Bury me

Let me lay

Punishment waits impatiently

The blind follower requests a closing pardon

There are no ears to hear this false sermon

Your faulty judgment displayed so clouded

Remember me when I’m dead

I’m dead

When I’m dead

I’m dead
