The crow inside your hollow chest It calls for me, it calls for me It sings the song of emptiness To her I say There's nothing more to do The die is cast And now you must receive it And if there's one thing I know is true All that's left is learning to believe it 'Cause nothing changes the direction that time flows A dying rose, a metaphor Just walk away, just walk away You know we've both been here before And just like then There's nothing you can do The bones are thrown And nothing's going to save it And all we thought we knew Is now a ball and chain So let's just leave it 'Cause nothing ever really goes backwards A broken heart makes broken legs You're seeing red, you're seeing red Your empty hands will find their necks So keep them filled, avoid regrets When all you see is suffering It's time for you to find your bed When all is dark, and all is bled Pack your bags and leave your head The jaws of life will splay your chest And let out all the emptiness And you will finally know the rest That only comes When all that's left to do Is say the words you've always sworn you wouldn't And this I swear is true There's no more reason for you to avoid it Yeah, let's build another pyre and burn this
