Emily Jane White – The Ravens lyrics

The bats dropped night in
A sunken skull imprint
Of out bodies on the bed
A plaster mold it seems
Delicate, enshrined
A masterpiece
Left to die
Here we go again
A splitting of the wood
Carved and thinned
Until there's nothing left
But some shavings and
An album that you left
Behind
Oh my broken bones
Crippled and thrown
To the wayside
But we weren't in it to win
Our love it grew and died, begin again
And a violent wind
Ripped the wave from the shore
And I know that you caved in
And surrendered to your cold and brutal nature
And so I walk the line
To the beating of this never ending lie
The ravens they fly low
Death a ubiquitous member
And knock forever more
Or just break down the door
To this labyrinth of your twisted heart
But I am just like you
Selfish and abused
There is a shadow
That stalks my hide
But what do you do with this skin
A home in which you live
It's insufficient
But we weren't in it to win
Our love it grew and died, begin again
And a violent wind
Ripped the wave from the shore
And I know that you caved in
And surrendered to your cold and brutal nature
But you know I understand
So I’ll drop the ball from up on high
And watch it descend
Growing ever further from my eye
And so I walk the line
To the beating of this never ending lie
