"The Old Way" lyrics

Slowly sinking, that concrete feeling
Or something else as eyes roll to the ceiling
It's no secret what you do in the dark
I've had enough, I'll take the old way
Its calling
Giving up on making amends
Dwelling on the things that can't change
Running from a past that can't be seen

I'll take the old way
Savoring a permanent ending
The only way above me
Is at the end of eighteen feet of rope

When it comes to innocents
It's just as bad to sit the fence
I'm calling out your impotence
There's no mistake, it's weakness

The old way is calling
Taking everything until there's nothing left but
Payment in flesh and I'll return for the rest
Pieces from the face of the one who sees death

I'll take the old way (Old way)
Savoring a permanent ending
The only way above me
Is at the end of eighteen feet of

Try to confide and lie to save your life
I'll slip it on and pull it tight
Tell it to the ones that you survive

It ends where the guilty sleep
With her you earned your keep
Lighter than grief
I'll pull you off your feet and watch the short drop
