Hatchet - As We Ascend

You set my world on fire, it’s time to run away

Through the soil you torched to the horizon

My hopes and dreams they died, but now I’m justified

I won’t drag your weight any longer

Cut me loose

I’m trying to let go of everything

You’ve tied my noose

But now your rope’s unraveling

It’s hard to breathe with your hands around my neck

Around my neck, you’re killing me

It’s hard to know when you’re behind me

It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back

You left my spirit torn, tired, and all alone

My heart is frozen, colder than frostbite

I’ve gathered every stone that you have ever thrown

Used them to build my road while you sink under

Cut me loose

I’m trying to let go of everything

You’ve tied my noose

But now your rope’s unraveling

It’s hard to breathe with your hands around my neck

Around my neck, you’re killing me

It’s hard to know when you’re behind me

It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back

You raised your walls so you could hide your past

Made them out of glass and they’re shattering

It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back

It’s in my back, hatchet in my back

Look me in the eyes

The only one prepared to die

The damage is already done

You best get your hatchet

This battle has just begun

It’s hard to breathe with your hands around my neck

Around my neck, you’re killing me

It’s hard to know when you’re behind me

It’s hard to bury this hatchet when it’s in my back

It’s hard to breathe

With your hands around me, hand around me

It’s hard to know

You’re always behind me
