Vocal Letter Carrion

When my chest splits out come the crows Where they land nobody will know I ripped my heart out the scars will show Where they pitch is all in fate Life for me is far too late Observe the crows as they claw and peck their way out Cover your ears to ignore my shout Or sit and watch my blood erupt as a gory spout Sit in awe as they tell you my tale If I said it myself i am sure to fail Hear them cry out for some help And witness me slowly get dragged down to hell Sit in wonder whilst they tear me apart As a reminder for how unsuccessful I was to mend my heart Watch the marvel of the blood red feathers Gust through the wind until they may find another When they do they'll crawl inside tear the chest open to build a nest so they have a place to reside Until the time come it happens again they'll rip you from the inside out And then the bloodworks start over once more The pain will be seen once more makes you feel empty as they tear their to come out to explore
