Matt Holubowski - The Warden & The Hangman

Kishore Kumar Hits — Matt Holubowski - The Warden & The Hangman lyrics

Artist: Matt Holubowski

album: Solitudes (Epilogue)

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.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
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.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Fare thee well forever, I will suffer still a little longer, but I have no anger
Nor 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?
Well now I crawl, into myself
While they bury you in existential jail.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
(End)
