| Someone said he who knows he knows, knows nothing, yeah
|
| He who knows he knows nothing, really knows
|
| But I have searched and I never could find
|
| A way to make my true self unwind
|
| And while I sit here waiting to die
|
| I can see where I am and can tell you why
|
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
|
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
|
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
|
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
|
| It’s all so easy, like the time when I first learned, yeah
|
| It’s all the same, since the day the world first turned, yeah
|
| But I never tried to listen or wait
|
| And now it’s so clear but for me it’s too late
|
| And so I sit here trying not to cry
|
| I only wanted peace but now I must die
|
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
|
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
|
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
|
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
|
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
|
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
|
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
|
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
|
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
|
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
|
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
|
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
|
| The time’s right ahead, can’t you see
|
| 'Cause my life’s running out, out on me
|
| I’ve forgotten how it was, let me be
|
| So hangman hang my shell on a tree
|
| (Repeat to fade out) |
