lyrics

Your heart is painted raven black
and the crows have made their attack
I lost you when you started to crack
The stars by your eye remind me your age
and how you barely avoided the cage
when all you wanted was a turn of the page

But it’s too late you’ll have to learn to live with yourself
and you’re not getting any help
Ain’t it lonely sitting up at the top of your tree
while the rest of us are roaming free

Your lips are painted cherry red
like the blood that once ran through your head
and the puddles that circle the dead
You killed what you made and put it to rest
just to find some bigger nest
worth more than the beat of your chest

But it’s too late you’ll have to learn to live with yourself
snd you’re not getting any help
Ain’t it lonely sitting up at the top of your tree
ehile the rest of us are roaming free

And when you sleep you don’t dream
It must be far worse than it seems

Your teeth are painted paper white
and they glow when you turn out the light
but they rot right through the night
You smile so big and hide your mistakes
but everyone can see through your fake
you pray the Lord your soul to take

But it’s too late you’ll have to learn to live with yourself
and you’re not getting any help
Ain’t it lonely sitting up at the top of your tree
while the rest of us are roaming free
