Vultures

I've got these words circling in my head
Vultures circling overhead
Why can't I get this outta my head
My head hurts

My thoughts are closing in
Look and this hole I dug myself in
What have I got myself in
What did I get myself in...to?

My eyes are tired
My lungs are sore from breathing in, out
Take a deep breath, make it last
My legs won't let me walk on

I've got these thoughts circling in my head
Vultures circling overhead
Why can't I get this outta my head
My head hurts

My mind is trying to turn
Myself in to turn
Everything around, to turn
This thing into the worst, thing.

My eyes are tired
My legs are sore from stepping forward, back
Take another step, I leap of faith
My lungs won't let me breathe

Now I'm ready to move on
So stop weighing me down when I'm gone
Let me run away, escape my fate
This is not my self-fulling prophecy.

My eyes are tired
My mind is tired
My lungs are tired
My legs are tired

I'm tired
I don't want to fly more
Stop coming after me with vultures
So let me be

So let me sleep
