Murder By Death - Crows (Demo) lyrics

rate me

You're a carrion crow picking on the bones

Of all you suckered into loving and taking care of you

You don't want to be another lost cause of theirs, do you?

Do you want them to be right?

I, I raised you up

I, I gave you all I could

You'll never know love

You'll never know trust

I should have known you were a snake

When I picked you up

You're the weight around our necks that keeps us tied and immobile

You're the chain around our legs that keeps us from moving free

You don't want to drag us all down with you, do you?

Do you want to be an anchor or be a ball and chain

I, I raised you up

I, I gave you all I could

You'll never know love

You'll never know trust

I should have known you were a snake

When I picked you, when I picked you up

I gave up my life when your mother died

We had it coming for a long time

For you to chose that fate is as much as I can take

Pull another stunt like that and never show your face here again

I raised you up

I gave you all I could

But my mistakes were not enough

You, you had to show me up

I can't watch you throw your life away

When a heart that's that big breaks

It leaves you thinking it's way

I had it coming for a long time

If this is the life you chose

Without me you've got nothing to lose

Go ahead but I won't be there

I, I raised you up

I, I gave you all I could

But my mistakes were not enough

You, you had to show me up

I can't watch you throw your life away

No, I won't let you throw your life away
