The Ravens and the Ravenous

Lucy Tonic

If I knew exactly what went down

Do you think I'd be here safe and sound

No, I'd be somewhere inhaling dirt

With a system that no longer worked

Cause old friends and strangers both

Have thrown chunks at my head

Some pieces are filler

Some say I'm better off dead

An all their eyes have dollar signs

Like they've just drunk the kool-aid wine

And what else can I do but say

Take what you want, don't delay

But if you want blood off your hands

You must fill me in on me

The ravens and the ravenous

Perhaps they're waiting in the mist

They'll make it look like Shakespeare

And thank me for playing

But when to be or not to be is cut off

By the information source

Well, how much more fucked up

Can it get

It's the last person you'd expect

But someone's got feathers

And rabbits in a cage

And a fetish for leather

And a man told me once, with a smile

He killed a girl in his basement

He buried her in a plot of land

And he went crazy

And this girl told me once, with her eyes

She killed a fellow friend

Stuck poison in the needle

Made it look like an accident

And if I knew exactly what went down

Do you think I'd be here gagged and bound

And what else can I do but say

Take what you want, don't delay

But if you want blood off your hands

You must fill me in on me
