Sometimes she dances
Not that you'll see her
She needs her solitude
To be content
And rare's the music
These days that moves her
She's missing something
God knows where it went
Hello the ravens
Bright in her mirror
One on each shoulder
Truth over lies
She feels their wingbeats
Close/soft in her ribcage
They keep you living
When something dies
She's not unhappy
She doesn't cry now
She doesn't argue
She keeps her word
And here is duty
Despised and welcomed
To fill the silence
Lest she be heard
Hello the ravens
Upon her shoulders
Bright in her mirror
One on each shoulder
Truth over lies
She feels their wingbeats
Close/soft in her ribcage
They keep you living
When something dies
