Hanging Tree Lyrics by Ashestoangels

Most Beautiful Things Are Dead

2010

[Verse 1]
Oh
And I said
Meet me by the hanging tree
And life must be the death of me
If self-destruction is the lesson
I must say we learn it well
Consider now the irony
Of living so precariously
If self-destruction is the lesson
I must say we learn it well
[Pre-Chorus]
(Live life, hate life
We crave)
Conclusion
(Live life, hate life
Live life, hate life)
[Chorus]
And spend your days in beauty, rapt
Send gifts of love encased in black
(We are the haunted, we are the hopeless)
Shadows form and in darkness, they cursed us
This mess is beautiful cos it's ours
We burn so bright to spite the stars
You're most alive when you're crashing cars
[Verse 2]
We are just tiny fires, so
(We burn so bright)
We can't burn long
And if you're so right then how can you be so wrong?
And our luminescence
It must be our downfall
(And if you're so right then how can you be so wrong?)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Live life, hate live
We crave)
Conclusion
(Live life, hate life
Live life, hate life)
[Chorus]
And spend your days in beauty, rapt
Send gifts of love encased in black
(We are the haunted, we are the hopeless)
Shadows form and in darkness, they cursed us
This mess is beautiful cos it's ours
We burn so bright to spite the stars
You're most alive when you're crashing cars
[Bridge]
(This is what we need to hear
This is what we need to hear...)
And let's be honest here
We're just stating the obvious here
None of us can live forever
Though we do our best to, do our best to
Do our best to
[Chorus]
And spend your days in beauty, rapt
Send gifts of love encased in black
(We are the haunted, we are the hopeless)
Shadows form and in darkness, they cursed us
This mess is beautiful cos it's ours
We burn so bright to spite the stars
You're most alive when you're crashing cars
Spend
(Spend your days in beauty, rapt
Send gifts of love encased in black)
We are, we are
(Shadows form and in darkness, they cursed us
This mess is beautiful cos it's ours)
We burn
Woah
(You're most alive when you're)
Crashing cars
