|
The black bird sits atop my guts |
|
And spreads its wings for flight |
|
My shoulders back |
|
My jaw pushed out |
|
My stomach sucked in |
|
Its wingtips push across my lungs |
|
And fill them full of feathers |
|
But the brushstrokes feel like |
|
Hearthpokes into my skin. |
|
The black bird feasts upon my guts |
|
And bears its beak to fight |
|
My shoulders back |
|
My jaw pushed out |
|
My stomach sucked in |
|
Its wingtips push across my lungs |
|
And fill them full of feathers |
|
Now they poke between my teeth |
|
And that's why |
|
I thirstWhen he flies me to the top |
|
There's nothing but the fog |
|
A heart of stone |
|
Eggshells for bones |
|
They lead you to be lost |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The black bird is a part of me(The dark slope drags you down) |
|
A part of me, so sad to see(The dark slope drags you down) |
|
The black bird is a part of me, so sad(The dark slope drags you down) |
|
To see, so sad |
|
I ask before |
|
I goFor you to drop a lit match down my throat |
|
And smoke the bastard out |
|
Or burn him to a crisp' |
|
Cause I'm already carrion |
|
Been eaten from the inside too long |
|
This black bird wants to rip me |
|
Limb from limb |
|
The black bird dips its beak |
|
In blood and writes its thoughts in cursive' |
|
Cross the bones that are its jailer |
|
And my ribcage |
|
And when you turn me inside out |
|
Believe in me, without a doubt |
|
The words were all of his |
|
And none of mine |
|
When he flies me to the top |
|
There's nothing but the fog |
|
A heart of stone |
|
Eggshells for bones |
|
They lead you to be lost |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The dark slope drags you down |
|
The black bird is a part of me(The dark slope drags you down) |
|
A part of me, so sad to see(The dark slope drags you down) |
|
The black bird is a part of me, so sad(The dark slope drags you down) |
|
To see, so sad to be me. |
