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
