Life is for the birds

Life is for the birds

I feel like I\'m slowly being torn apart
Like a flock of vultures are fighting over my flesh
Honestly i don\'t even know where to start
I just feel like i need something fresh
I can\'t live my own life without these birds
Everywhere i go i see there feathers
They make me angry beyond words
They pluck at my body through any weather
I want to be free to live my own life
With out all these crows everywhere
I want to scream at them with a butcher knife
And tell them to stop making the game unfair
The birds follow my every move
They stock my every decision
Like a key fitting into a groove
You have to turn the tumbler with precision
There little beady eyes watch me
So cold and dead inside
I beat my wings trying to get free
I duck and dodge and try to hide
But the birds bring me one thing
Complete darkness
