Loose Ends

**[Verse 1]**  
Woke up with the ceiling staring down  
Like it knows every ugly thing I've done  
Pain in my chest, I can't breathe out  
Every memory begs me to run  

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
Nothing's holy when you're hollow  
Another promise I won't follow  

**[Chorus]**  
Find me a tighter noose  
This one is way too loose  
Pennies on my eyes  
Send me to the other side  
Hope heaven finds me well  
Before the devil drags me to hell  
(If I go, make it loud—don’t let me fade out)

**[Verse 2]**  
I carved my guilt into the walls  
Painted shame with broken thoughts  
Even love felt like a knife  
Too dull to kill, too sharp to survive  

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
Nothing's holy when you're hollow  
Another promise I won't follow  

**[Chorus]**  
Find me a tighter noose  
This one is way too loose  
Pennies on my eyes  
Send me to the other side  
Hope heaven finds me well  
Before the devil drags me to hell  
(If I go, make it loud—don’t let me fade out)

**[Bridge]**  
Don’t say you’re sorry now  
I’ve rehearsed this goodbye  
Your silence was the gun  
And this song is my cry  

**[Final Chorus]**  
Find me a tighter noose  
This one is way too loose  
Pennies on my eyes  
Send me to the other side  
Hope heaven finds me well  
Before the devil drags me to hell  
(And if he does, I’ll smile like I meant it)

**[Outro]**  
Loose ends—my only friends  
Swinging in rhythm again
Loose ends—my only friends  
Swinging in rhythm again
