Blackbirds

i shiver and shake through warm and cold 
im alone on my own
the pain shakes through my bone
its so vast and shown

its harder starting over
then never to have changed

with blackbirds following me
im throwing my life away
they close in stalking me
the fear is here to stay
im getting back what i gave

i sweat through the skin as daylight fades
as i waste away
the soldiers the come and make their raids
im taken away

the blackbirds follow me
as i make my escape
the skylights calling to me
todays the day i fade
im letting go of my way

*this is a song by linkin park just i changed most the lyrics so it souldnt be conciderd 
copywrite*
