[Verse 1] Perched on the edge of the overpass Cold wind biting through my coat Feathers brushing against my shoulder Like we share a secret joke Your shadow spills over billboards Neon bleeding into black You tilt your head like a question Like you dare me to look back [Chorus] Standing beside the raven Looming over all these lives Looking down on tiny movements Tiny hearts in tangled drives Standing beside the raven Hunger burning in its eyes Is it you that wants the bodies Or is it me that wants their lives [Verse 2] Cars crawl slow like silver insects Windows full of half-told lies Every lane a quiet confession Hidden under passing tyres You twitch Then lock on a figure Walking fast Their collar high I can feel your throat grow tighter As if the craving’s partly mine [Chorus] Standing beside the raven Looming over all these lives Looking down on tiny movements Tiny hearts in tangled drives Standing beside the raven Hunger burning in its eyes Is it you that wants the bodies Or is it me that wants their lives [Bridge] Maybe I’m the darker shadow Cast beneath your open wings (oh) Maybe I’m the silent answer Every desperate signal brings [Chorus] Standing beside the raven Looming over all these lives Looking down to choose a stranger From the river of their lives Standing beside the raven Hunger burning in our eyes Can’t tell where your urge is ending Can’t tell where it blends with mine
