lyrics

The raven bickers with a murder of crows
As the black clouds gather around, observing the show
Many vultures wait patiently, circling slow
And some say they work in tandem with the serpents below
But who knows? Instead we focus on the curves in the road
And let these bittersweet notes feed and nourish our woes
Oh how the wind blows in the merciless cold
Feel the misery unfold and take a permanent hold
And if only for second all our worries would slow
Maybe then we wouldn't be in such a hurry to go
Maybe then we'd free our burdens like a bird with a throw
And we could see how many seconds an eternity holds
We'll visit every ghost town that the circus can roll
When its time to pull the ropes, both the curtains will close
And in a shower of roses just like a flurry of snow
The crowd will chant back your name and every word that you wrote
The dragons tail is like the neck of a swan
So deadly. So delicately slender and long
And such a fatal attraction is so incredibly strong
On a molecular level it's like a chemical bond.
Often we suffer in silence and even choke on our feelings
Because there's nothing inside us to help us cope with our demons
And what a drug can provide us is like a rope that can free us
Until it crushes and drives us into a moment of weakness
Its like, most of the time we end up swollen and beaten
Our noses bleeding on our knees but never fully defeated
Lump in my throat and I'm speechless
My heart is broken to pieces
How could something so simple steal the show from a genius?

Now rain clouds weep into the streets
Let them pour
The thunder shakes beneath my feet
Let it roar
I can't believe we'll never speak anymore
But I hear the raven screeching from its beak
Nevermore
These rain clouds weep into the streets
Let them pour
The thunder shakes beneath my feet
Let it roar
I can't believe we'll never speak anymore
But I hear the raven screeching from its beak
Nevermore

Silence is golden, but gold? It can weigh you down
Its like the world is on your shoulders and no-one can save you now
And every man's got problems, yeah we know about that
But when we land at rock bottom, we're supposed to bounce back
And yet some fall flat when they hit a sour note
Yelling help, losing grip as they're slipping down a rope
And its cold, so the warmth of a fix is sounding dope
Its like an old nostalgic memory when this is how you cope
I miss the days that we would sit around and joke
Or rock the microphone, and really give the crowd a show
Here I am with your picture as I think about my bro
What a tough pill to swallow, should I spit it out or choke?
Life is twisted, if you blink you could miss it
And on the bright side, the pain will only sting for a minute
Not every second is worth it, so we resent it and curse it
Forever waiting in the present for a yesterday's perfect
And of course you were there at my lowest of lows
And always welcome at my home when you had nowhere to go
What I was shown on DMT is that we'll always be souls
I guarantee we'll meet again when I get old and I croak

Now rain clouds weep into the streets
Let them pour
The thunder shakes beneath my feet
Let it roar
I can't believe we'll never speak anymore
But I hear the raven screeching from its beak
Nevermore
These rain clouds weep into the streets
Let them pour
The thunder shakes beneath my feet
Let it roar
I can't believe we'll never speak anymore
But I hear the raven screeching from its beak
Nevermore

Nevermore
I hear the raven screeching from its beak
Nevermore

Nevermore
Every lesson that it teaches is a deep metaphor
