lyrics

Your vision is blurry and
Your nerves are exploding
You can almost feel
Your insanity unfolding
The more you think, the more
It feels like your head is gonna blow,
And in the distance,
There’s a murder of crows

You’re crawling in the gutters
Of angst and introversion
And beside you on the pavement
are all the ordinary persons
You cannot help but wonder
How you came to end up this low
And still in the distance,
There’s a murder of crows

You’re sleeping with one eye
Open every night
You wake up every hour
With a demon in sight
When you gaze out from the window
Into the puddles down below
You notice a reflection
Of a murder of crows

You’ve never been too fond of
the way you’ve led your life
Every step of the way
You’ve been pierced through by a knife
The thing’s you’ve heard, the thing’s you’ve
Seen have always kept you slow
And silhouetted by the moon,
is a murder of crows

You haven’t left the apartment
In a week of sun sets
Out there in the open
Lay all of your regrets
All the city’s greenery
Have turned into snow
And leaning ’gainst your window
Is a murder of crows

Your eyes have been fixed upon
A spot on your ceiling
Wide opened for hours
Without even seeing
Your body has given up,
It has not more to show
For, and at the foot of your bed
Is a murder of crows
