Lyrics
Mhmm
Been talkin to the dark again
It answers faster than the church ever did
Got a bird in my chest
Won't shut up
Won't die
Just keeps peckin every memory alive
Boots still dirty from the roads I survived
Heart so cold even the whiskey won't try
Prayers in my pocket with the lint and the lies
I don't ask for a damn thing I just walk with the night
Got blood in my nose got frost in my grin
Every loss just another place the story digs in
You hear silence when I enter that's respect not fear
Room gets heavy when the truth finally near
They wanted soft edges I gave em bone
They wanted radio I gave em ghosts
They wanted comfort I gave em thunder
Now they feel every word like six feet under
There's a crow in my rib cage
Tappin Morse code through the pain
Every beat got a message
Every breath still got my name
Crow in my rib cage won't let me rest
Singin every bad decision out my chest
Black wings flappin when I try to breathe
Truth so loud I can't fuckin leave
Crow in my rib cage scream when I lie
Peckin at the parts of me that still try
Ain't no savior gonna save my skin
Only thing holy is the war within
Yeah
War within
Still numb
I been broke been bent been buried in doubt
Now they hearin every word I never let out
Used to beg for a hand now they beg for the sound
Funny how the lost ones always build their crown
I don't flex for a post I don't sell for a look
Every scar in my body just another damn book
Every night that I lived through wanted me gone
But the crow kept screamin you still belong
They said tone it down make it easier heard
Nah I'd rather choke the room with every damn word
I don't make pretty songs for comfortable ears
I make shit for the ones still strangled by years
Crow don't lie
Crow don't sleep
Crow keep secrets I can't keep
Crow in my rib cage won't let me rest
Singin every bad decision out my chest
Black wings flappin when I try to breathe
Truth so loud I can't fuckin leave
Crow in my rib cage scratchin my spine
Every beat feelin like borrowed time
Ain't no halo sittin over my head
Only thing holy is the words I bled
You ever feel like your pain got a voice
Like it ain't tryin to hurt you
It's tryin to wake you up
Maybe the crow in me cursed
Maybe the crow the reminder
That I'm still here
That I survived
That I ain't done yet
Crow in my rib cage won't let me fold
Tells me every damn night I was built from cold
Black wings draggin me through the flame
Still screamin louder every time they say my name
Crow in my rib cage carved in bone
Every word I breathe sayin walk alone
No chains on me no fuckin leash
Crow made king out the beast in me
Yeah
Still breathin
Still standin
Still dangerous
Crow still singin
Prophet don't die
