Crows on a Wire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you wanna step into the lights
Well, I'm warning you, be wise
Nothing goes unnoticed
If you wanna lead or be a star
They'll expose all that you are
Are you sure you want this now
(They will only tear you down)
[Chorus]
Cause they're waiting just like crows on a wire
They pry and conspire, that's all they do
Waiting to consume and devour
The glory and power they gave to you
[Verse 2]
If you wanna step into the ring
Well, you can't hide a goddamn thing
In the end, they'll find it
If you've got a secret deep inside
Nothing's sacred or divine
They will always bleed you out
(They will always bleed you out)
[Chorus]
Cause they're waiting just like crows on a wire
They pry and conspire, that's all they do
Waiting to consume and devour
The glory and power they gave to you
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
There will come a time
When all they give they will steal
The love you think you will find
Know that none of it's real
[Chorus]
Waiting just like crows on a wire
They pry and conspire, that's all they do
Waiting to consume and devour
The glory and power they gave to you
Let this serve you as a reminder
No, they'll never tire, they'll come for you
Cause they're just waiting to consume and devour
The glory and power, so sad but true
[Outro]
You know it's true
You know it's true
You know it's true

In enterview to musicradar.com:
Myles: “That’s definitely a Tremonti riff. It’s about how we tend to put people on pedestals and then turn around and tear them down. It is a high chorus, yes, it’s a little bit of a stretch – that will be fun to pull off live!”
Mark: “Before we got together to writ...
