As the Crows Fly (It's A Murder)

As the crows fly, we are too far apart
It's a murder to be further than the stars
It's the very same wounded starlight
Sickened candles, unpolished handles are out tonight

Crow, would you claw me and beat me with your wings?
Blackened feathers flap together for the song that you sing
And I can barely stand to hear it, give me reprieve
That drumming is something pieced together from grief

The crows are killing me
It's a murder
As far as I can see
It's a murder

Marbled eyes, would you break the silence?
I could see for me if you would give me my chance
My wings are not big enough, I'm falling far too deeply
Oh hated bird, teach me words on the science of sleeping

I can't see too far ahead but I can't let go
I'm so tired and blinded by the size of the crow
He seems to know something I don't know
Of hopelessness and promises written in the snow

Where's my leasson to be learned?
It's a murder
As far as I'm concerned
It's a murder
