Wryneck

[Verse] Sky's cracked open wide writhing in the dark Crows cacklin’ cruel on this wreck of a park Wings sharp as knives tearing through the night Feathers black and slick doused in urban blight [Verse 2] Freezing winds blow through the alleyway grunge Birds here gather scavenging in that plunge Talons grip tight on remnants of lost dreams Eagles caged with clipped wings silent screams [Chorus] Wryneck twist and turn in the concrete hell Urban forests gone roots up where bodies fell Ravens pierce through shadows filling up this void No more soft coos only chaos and disjoint [Verse 3] Pigeons flinch at echoes of distant sirens Flying past graffiti walls cruel iron Gutter’s home now for a sparrow’s last breath Mockingbirds sing of love torn by theft [Chorus] Wryneck twist and turn in the concrete hell Urban forests gone roots up where bodies fell Ravens pierce through shadows filling up this void No more soft coos only chaos and disjoint [Bridge] Falcons once soared high now grounded in this rut Streetlights shine cold on broken wings strut Hawks with shattered cries hungrily they scan World turned gray a dystopian birdland
