A Raven's Curse
So we stare at the sun While we flap our clipped wings Never understanding the burn we received From what we believed was right Add to this if they had known Who knew? It’d be taken away The truth lies just beneath this A piston popping with no release valve now The outward-bound cast to dwell in this downward spiral Our backs are broken from the weight of the fall Star-ward gazing while we stand up and we stand tall ‘Cause we both know that we might get our shot tonight To be something more than this Our blessed curse sealed with a deadly kiss Full speed ahead on these half drawn sails Our breath won’t fail us now You can save the world a million times but get credit for the fall Even though you had nothing to with it Nothing to do at all We kept this dream alive straight-laced with suicide Letras de canciones Don’t slouch down boy You’ll only orchestrate your fall Fifty miles above this all You can hear the complacent complying And the ignorant few multiplying All while trying to wake up the already dead This is not what we believe A candy-coated lie filled with broken dreams That’s tearing apart at the seams But this time I will never turn my back on you No matter what’s been said or everything I had to do And when it’s time I hope I’m not the only one With guns out blazing But will you be awestruck staring? Without raising a fist or raising your voice Scoffed at the thought of a choice We wait for the eye of the storm to pass by Punch-drunk in pursuit of an abstract ideal When I’m just trying to feel out something real We kept this dream alive straight-laced with suicide Devoid of foolish pride All we have’s forsaken The heartless have just taken it for themselves Just walk away Don’t shoulder the weight of the world From Letras Mania
