Vultures Above

Would you take away all of the graves
That litter my mind till this day
Would you clear a path through the trees
Or are you just gonna walk away?

Don’t leave me here this way
Take me back
Where this began
I swear to God I used to love these lights

This city is darker
Ate me alive
Should have known they’d protect their hive
Open me up
Climb inside
Take what you want just remember what’s mine

Take my heart
Take my eyes
Take my soul and feel the other side
Vultures above
Lions below
Nothing like waiting to see how you go

Do I fight this?
Do I fight this?
Hands are tied
Behind my back
Belief in me, the only thing I have

And it’s fading
Slowly eroding
Tired of the people and all the commotion
See the finish line
But I can’t feel my legs
See the checkered flag but there’s no gas left

And I’m sinking
I’m sinking
Vultures above
Lions below
Nothing like waiting to see how you go

Do I fight this?
Do I fight this?
Take me
I want this, I don’t want you
I need this more than you do
White doors are slowly closing
I lie awake just hoping
