See my heart i've traded in
some new stranger dwells within
crazy circles leading me back where i've been

so i start over again give until you give in
pay the devil now to make amends
and i'll give all this back to you
in the end

pull the stitch and heal the loss
sell the soul and pay the cost
there are no words that can
bring me back what i've lost

chorus

now i know that words can kill
i have seen that words can kill
and i smile as i walk to the gallows
wait while the hangman reads
watch as my soul is escaping my body
i rise up as smoke through the trees
rise up as smoke through the trees

chorus
