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
