Souls of the Crows

You took from me my tattered wing

Taught me how to be heard when I sing

Showed me how to breath alone

Without you I feel no hope

Tell me please there's a chance for me

To give to you my empathy 

For you had shown the world to me

And yet you never asked for much

I cannot bare any less of such

You gave to me time to mend

Showed me what its like to have a friend 

Remember me I truly pray

As my soul begins to stray

Some in life are not meant be 

For they can't fight off the voice inside

It endlessness eats them until they die

And so to you these words are true

Couldn't have done it without you

So please know this is not you to blame

A broken heart can take away all the sane 

Tears your heart up to the brain 

The world you truly are to me

But in the end its not the same

Even though I wished it could be

It comes close but every day it turns to night

Hope to see them when I turn on my light

The emptiness starts slow enough at first

Begins to grow till it turns to fright 

You removed the pain which clamped my wings

Taught me how to freely sing

I sing myself to sleep at night

And pray i die after I turn out the light

You fixed my wings and my voice

But the pain inside is not my choice

For if it was i never would have met someone

As I say the final words

Think of me as you see a flock of crows

Visualize my soul you freed from my pain

Close your eyes and pray for me

See me flap my wings again

And hear the final song I bring

And thank you for believing in me friend
