The Walls Are Closing In / Hangman Lyrics - Pretty Reckless

Part 1: The Walls Are Closing In 

[Intro] 

Get your shit together 

[Verse] 

There's no light 

Mama, I can't see at all 

There's no one left to break this fall 

Mama, there's no one at all 

Part 2: Hangman 

[Verse 1] 

I think I am gonna spend my last night here 

I think I can finally see clear 

[Chorus] 

When they come to hang you 

Stand straight, brace your neck, be strong daughter 

When they come to hang you 

And you think you lost control 

Don't take your soul 

[Verse 2] 

Time flies by the rank of years 

Humans die by the hand of fear 

[Chorus] 

When they come to hang you 

Stand straight, brace your neck, be strong daughter 

When they come to hang you 

And you think you lost control 

Don't take your soul 

[Bridge] 

In the time of the light before humans had the sight 

Spent my life living blind with a picture in my mind 

A vision of the sun but now my life is done 

As I wait for the light to come 

I will take not a thing 

For what I would bring that won't decompose 

As my body is disposed and the earth weights a ton 

And now my life is done as I wait for the light to come 

[Chorus] 

When they come to hang you 

Stand straight, brace your neck, be strong daughter 

When they come to hang you 

And you think you lost control 

Don't take your soul
