[00:00.00]A Raven's Curse - Counterpunch
[00:08.39]So we stare at the sun
[00:10.82]While we flap our clipped wings
[00:13.03]Never understanding the burn we received
[00:16.74]From what we believed was right
[00:19.37]Add to this if they had known
[00:21.38]Who knew
[00:22.09]It'd be taken away
[00:23.64]The truth lies just beneath this
[00:27.50]
[00:28.09]A piston popping with no release valve now
[00:32.75]The outward-bound cast to dwell in this downward spiral
[00:37.24]Our backs are broken from the weight of the fall
[00:41.06]
[00:41.85]Star-ward gazing while we stand up and we stand tall
[00:46.58]'Cause we both know that we might get our shot tonight
[00:51.19]To be something more than this
[00:55.35]Our blessed curse sealed with a deadly kiss
[01:00.07]Full speed ahead on these half drawn sails
[01:03.96]Our breath won't fail us now
[01:06.67]
[01:09.88]You can save the world a million times but get credit for the fall
[01:14.09]Even though you had nothing to do with it
[01:16.83]Nothing to do at all
[01:18.83]We kept this dream alive straight-laced with suicide
[01:23.76]
[01:34.65]Don't slouch down boy
[01:35.98]You'll only orchestrate your fall
[01:37.48]Fifty miles above this all
[01:41.77]You can hear the complacent complying
[01:43.97]And the ignorant few multiplying
[01:46.60]All while trying to wake up
[01:48.91]All while trying to wake up the already dead
[01:53.18]You can save the world a million times but get credit for the fall
[01:57.54]Even though you had nothing to do with it
[02:00.36]Nothing to do at all
[02:02.20]We kept this dream alive straight-laced with suicide
[02:09.25]Straight-laced with suicide
[02:14.56]
[02:15.86]This is not what we believe
[02:19.37]A candy-coated lie filled with broken dreams
[02:24.56]That's tearing apart at the seams
[02:27.92]But this time
[02:29.62]I will never turn my back on you
[02:33.30]No matter what's been said or everything I had to do
[02:37.98]
[02:38.92]And when it's time I hope I'm not the only one
[02:43.68]With guns out blazing
[02:45.40]But will you be awestruck staring
[02:47.98]Without raising a fist or raising your voice
[02:50.49]Scoffed at the thought of a choice
[02:52.73]We wait for the eye of the storm to pass by
[02:57.43]Punch-drunk in pursuit of an abstract ideal
[03:00.76]When I'm just trying to feel out something real
[03:06.40]We kept this dream alive straight-laced with suicide
[03:11.98]Devoid of foolish pride
[03:15.44]And all we have's forsaken
[03:19.54]The heartless have just taken it for themselves
[03:24.18]
[03:25.14]Just walk away
[03:26.88]Don't shoulder the weight of the world
[03:29.13]Don't shoulder the weight
[03:30.82]
[03:31.47]Don't shoulder the weight of the world
[03:33.79]Don't shoulder the weight
[03:36.00]Don't shoulder the weight
