Hang
By: Noah Eaton
7/30/01

She looks at the sunset, watching it fade before her
Nonchalant to the possibilities of her prayers
She rolls her eyes; I claim to believe what she is thinking
And how I want to make a halo from the ashes of her charity

I watch her tears fall like the rain, painting rainbows on her face
And I never stop thinking if I can see her see the light of day
To watch and see this graceful woman I dream of her to be
If she will ever feel free

How great it feels to dream
Of running away and feeling free
There has to be something more to help her change
If there’s not, I might as well just hang

Charlotte, weave your webs for my eyes to see
Crystal palaces of serendipity
To rescue her from this frigid prison
Make herself her happy companion

Christ, don’t leave me alone with her
Help me get through this slumber
Be my savior
And help me to return her favor

How great it feels to dream
Of running away and feeling free
There has to be something more to help her change
If there’s not, I might as well just hang

What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to say?
Have all my hopes fallen short?
Am I too late?

You say everythings your fault
So pick up your legs and take the default
Crawl over these prison walls
I won’t let you fall

And I can’t help but think someday
You’ll be free and you’ll feel safe
Miracles can happen, anyone can change
Don’t let yourself break, don’t let yourself hang

I think of you all the time
I don't want to see you break
Stand still and I'll be there
I hope it's not too late...
