Stone the Crow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A bout of deep depression
Can't seem to move it forward
My lying eyes lie awake
Not sure what I am after
[Chorus]
I never died before
Can't help what happened yesterday
I never stoned the crow, no
[Verse 2]
Flip through endless stories
A lifetime of hand-written pain
No one can share this hurt that is mine, mine, mine
[Chorus]
I never died before
Can't be what happened yesterday
I shouldn't stone the crow, no
Ride on
[Verse 3]
Same old city (Same old city)
Same old shame
No matter how I try, no matter what I say
I'm blamed, I'm shamed, I'm judged unfairly
[Chorus]
So now I've died before
It feels as bad as yesterday
I never stoned the crow, no
You too have died before
I fought as hard as yesterday
I never stoned the crow
Stoned the crow, no, no
