Not sure why I liked it so much, perhaps it's just my mood right now, but. *HUGS* Thanks for reading, i appreciate it. A comment might be nice also, if you have the time/words ;)
"Crowsong"
i want to sleep this guilt away
but i don't sleep
not like i used to
it wasn't meant for me
[black birds on my left side,
blue eyes on my right
if i could sleep at all
they'd still watch me at night
singing bitter
singing bitter crowsong]
but if we're talking about
what was meant for who
then this burden i carry, well
it should belong to you
why must we always burn the innocents?
why must we always kill the saints?
why can i not release the moment?
why can i not forget the face?
live in the shadows and die in the dark
but i don't know how to live
and i'm too afraid to die
no, i was meant to live on
but if we're talking about
what was meant for who
[if i could sleep at all
they'd still watch me at night
singing bitter
singing bitter crowsong
10 years with this
and i've learned to sing along]
then the one with the death brand
well that should have been you
no more killing innocence
no more smothering the good
i want no more nightmares of you
i want no more lies misunderstood
i want to drink my life away
but i don't drink
too many morals and not enough money
the deathwish escape of so many
but it wasn't meant for me
[aspire i to better glory
if i wanted to fall
well the crows wouldn't let me
i didn't ask for this grace
this grace
dis grace
scars on my arms and spite
etched on my face]
but if we're talking about
what was meant for who
then this agonization, well
it should belong to you
for destroying the innocent
for stealing the innocence
for utterly and totally
inflicting yourself
on the crow's baby
still screaming for help
all these fears and all these years
i won't live in the shadows
no, i'll suffer in the light
i hope you're blinded by the stones they throw
and devoured by the vultures
descended in the night
because if they know your evil
you've got no place to hide
i hang with the onlooking crows
singing a bitter song
there'll be no more destroying innocents.
