Texas In July - Nooses Lyrics
This blister has made a permanent stayUpon the fingers plagued by a handA hand that couldn’t bare to raise up, be seenAnd speak like a manBury me, let me layI’ll be right there when you look awayBury me, let me layRemember me when I’m dead I’m deadAsphyxiating in water so coldFrigid straight to the marrowPushed down, buried deep insideWhere no light can shine throughTo live within weakened thoughts and brittle bonesBury me, let me layI’ll be right there when you look awayBury me, let me layRemember me when I’m dead I’m deadYou start to go underThe waterline feels like a nooseWith every step the surface gets closer to your neckThis sovereign baptism is the last thing you’ll have the chance to disrespectWicked tongues lick the silver spoonAnd the timid become the footpathWhile you turn awayBury me, let me layI’ll be right there when you look awayBury me, let me layPunishment waits impatientlyThe blind follower requests a closing pardon.There are no ears to hear this false sermon.Your faulty judgment displayed so cloudedRemember me when I’m dead I’m dead
