The Black Bird, the Dark Slope |
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 hearth pokes 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 thirst |
And when he flies me to the top |
There’s nothing but the fog |
A heart of stone, eggshell 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 (The dark slope drags you down) |
So sad to see, so sad |
I ask before I go for you to drop a lit match down my throat |
And smoke the bastard out, it’ll 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 |
And 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 (The dark slope drags you down) |
So sad to see, so sad to be me |
