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
When he flies me to the top
There's nothing but the fog
A heart of stone, egg shell 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 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 it's 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, egg shell 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
