Byrds of Prey

There's a drama in the street

That you're dragged into

Bad company and you go

But you don't want to

The bats are coming

As you close your eyes

And then you're

In a strange bedroom

Lying on the floor

I know you'd like to captivate

But you'll have to try

Harder then your other friends

Who just happened to die

You picked the wrong girl off the streets

And my nails are sharp

Slicing through your banded knee

And your wanton heart

And oh you know there's something

That I can never say

I live in my own darkness

With giant birds of prey

And oh you know from up here

We watch and burn and reign

We'll swoop down on your faces

And satiate

They're no protection no relief

From all the silence of your screams

And your sweaty sheets

Stuck in doors, you only cry

Only cry for more

Hot out of sadness, out of fright

Breaking down the door

But I could only guess that you would think the worst of me

But I'm of another world where day is night

And all the heat is dripping from my skin

Dripping from my soul

And I am hollow in this space

Like a black hole

And oh you know there's something

That I can never say

I live in my own darkness

With giant birds of prey

And oh you know from up here

We watch and burn and reign

We'll swoop down on your faces

And satiate

And oh you know there's something

That I can never say

I live in my own darkness

With giant birds of prey

And oh you know from up here

We watch and burn and reign

We'll swoop down on your faces

And satiate

And oh you know there's something

That I can never say

I live in my own darkness

With giant birds of prey

And oh you know from up here

We watch and burn and reign

We'll swoop down on your faces

And satiate
