As We Ascend - Hatchet

Текст песни

You set my world on fire, it’s time to run away
Through the soil you torched to the horizon
My hopes and dreams they died, but now I’m justified
I won’t drag your weight any longer
Cut me loose
I’m trying to let go of everything
You’ve tied my noose
But now your rope’s unraveling
It’s hard to breathe with your hands around my neck
Around my neck, you’re killing me
It’s hard to know when you’re behind me
It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back
You left my spirit torn, tired, and all alone
My heart is frozen, colder than frostbite
I’ve gathered every stone that you have ever thrown
Used them to build my road while you sink under
Cut me loose
I’m trying to let go of everything
You’ve tied my noose
But now your rope’s unraveling
It’s hard to breathe with your hands around my neck
Around my neck, you’re killing me
It’s hard to know when you’re behind me
It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back
You raised your walls so you could hide your past
Made them out of glass and they’re shattering
It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back
It’s in my back, hatchet in my back
Look me in the eyes
The only one prepared to die
The damage is already done
You best get your hatchet
This battle has just begun
It’s hard to breathe with your hands around my neck
Around my neck, you’re killing me
It’s hard to know when you’re behind me
It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back
It’s hard to breathe
With your hands around me, hand around me
It’s hard to know
You’re always behind me
