Vultures Lyrics by Empty Atlas

Anniversary

2012

You hover like a vulture with the sweetest sound
You held my head back as you struck me down
My wounded words won't make a difference to you now

I'm wondering if they ever would
Clueless I kissed the ground you sat down on
From my bedroom on to your Mother's lawn
You said you longed to be eternalized in song
Not that this one is any good

Arid and careless, love, you injured me
You swarmed my conscience until I could not see
Oh Lord, the lengths I gave my soul to thee
In ways I know I never should

Honey, leave some for the vultures would you?
Honey, honey
Honey, leave some for the vultures would you?
Honey, honey
Honey, leave some for the vultures would you?
Honey, honey
Honey, leave some for the vultures would you?
Honey
