Florence and the Machine (Florence + The Machine) - Tear Out My Tongue / Ye Old Hope lyrics

Old hope Got stuck in your throat Wound its way around your neck And caused you to choke Old hope Made of rope That held you tight when the chair legs broke [Chorus] When they found you hanging in the wood You said at least now I don't have to be kind or good I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Tear out my tongue Cause I've been redeemed When they found you hanging in the wood You said at least now I don't have to be kind or good I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Tear out my tongue Cause I've been redeemed Save my blushes for the grave No shy glance, no coy restraint And I won't hang my head And I won't repent Won't face the wall and count to ten Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten Well they tore you down And they tore out your tongue And they made you kneel For all the things that you'd done But you wouldn't cry And you would't beg You just grinned And tore out your teeth instead [Chorus] When they found you hanging in the wood You said at least now I don't have to be kind or good I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Tear out my tongue Cause I've been redeemed I don't have to sit down and behave Cause my darling I've been saved
