Birchwood Lyrics by Kill The Vultures

The Careless Flame

2006

[Verse: Crescent Moon]
Won't you speak what's on your mind
I may be deaf, but I ain't blind
Misery comes right on time
While you stand at the station
The flesh hangs loosely from your words
They beg for change out on the curb
With both hands out they have the nerve
To ask me for more patience
Your silence is a killer's knife
A killer with a lovely wife
A bride who threw bouquets of ice
That I caught quick as lightening
The air is thick and I can't breathe
I wish you were off overseas
Instead you're burning next to me
And trying to read my writing
A pen has more to say right now
Than two kids who are wondering how
They got here under toxic clouds
Fuck you and your forecast
My summer never felt so cold
Your winter nights are getting old
But legally I can't let go
Once your bedroom door's latched
You'll have a drag, but you don't smoke
You swim in lies, but you don't float
No, you can't be blamed and you don't vote
You're perfect as a train wreck
You crawl back in your shattered shell
Collecting all your parts that fell
Then climb back up to the top shelf
You jump and make the same mess
I've seen the world in broken parts
I’ve fallen down, collected scars
I have my theory where it starts
And you will surely end it
The jesters tell you you're the king
The foolish one believes these things
Stop looking at your diamond ring
And save your sinking friendship
One angel on your shoulder sits
With broken heart and open wrists
She tells you what your problem is
She tells you all of mine, too
I reached for you and you were gone
Like smokey moonlight in the dawn
I’ll look back to where I went wrong
And I know there I’ll find you
And I know there I’ll find you
And I know there I’ll find you
And I know there I’ll find you
Birchwood
[Hook: Crescent Moon]
So won’t you speak what’s on your mind
C’mon, I said won’t you speak what’s on your mind
Please, won’t you speak what’s on your mind
I may be deaf, but I ain’t blind
