Hanging by a Thread
Tomorrow Bird

Verse 1:
In the shadow of the gallows, I stand all alone,
With the weight of my sins, carved deep in stone.
The noose is a whisper, a lover's embrace,
As I reflect on the moments life chose to erase.

Chorus:
Hanging by a thread, swinging in the night,
Counting all the stars that won't shine so bright.
A criminal's heart, forever in chains,
Searching for salvation in the blood of my veins.

Verse 2:
The roads I've traveled, they’re littered with lies,
A sorrowful journey beneath heavy skies.
Each step a burden, each choice a wrong turn,
Now I face the fire, the passion to burn.

Chorus:
Hanging by a thread, swinging in the night,
Counting all the stars that won't shine so bright.
A criminal's heart, forever in chains,
Searching for salvation in the blood of my veins.

Bridge:
There’s a specter of freedom that dances in dreams,
But the chains of my past are woven with screams.
I traded my wisdom for shadows and dread,
Now I’m left for the crows, a soul lost instead.

Verse 3:
I recall the laughter, the warmth of a smile,
In a world built on love, I chose the wrong style.
Now the clock is ticking, each second a prayer,
For the mercy of fate, in this unforgiving lair.

Chorus:
Hanging by a thread, swinging in the night,
Counting all the stars that won't shine so bright.
A criminal's heart, forever in chains,
Searching for salvation in the blood of my veins.

Outro:
So here's my confession, a tale of despair,
A heart full of sorrow is all that I bear.
As the noose pulls me closer to the end of my race,
I’ll embrace the silence, and fade without a trace.
