You work like every nail sunk Every floorboard laid Is another deed erased Another debt that's paid Like every story you've erected's gonna raise you up So you keep slaving but it never seems to be enough And now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down When you find that you've come to the end of your rope Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from You've been holding to a noose So just let go, just let go You built these gallows you've been hanging from And you got nothing to lose So just let go, just let go I love the wood's already rotting Though you made it clean You've hated every short cut Concealed its crooked seam But every flaw will be revealed Each imperfection shown Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the timber groan
