Vultures In My Head (Ballad 1)

[whispered] Vultures in my head... [Intro] The silence screams inside, it’s clawing at my mind (at my miiiind) Can’t outrun the shadows, can’t leave them behind (leave 'em behiiiind) Like a sword over my head... Filling me with dread (with dread) I see these Vultures circling... Over my head (over my head...) [guitar riff build-up] [musical interlude] [Verse 1] Vultures circle over my head, their wings slicing through the skies (skies) Picking at pieces of my soul just as every promise dies (dies) Hollow words and empty eyes, your image is carved into my skin Every scar reminds me where your venom used to win (used to wiiiiin!) [drum fill] [Pre-Chorus] I tried to bury the pain, but it blooms in the dark (in the dark) Feeding off the silence and tearing me apart (tearing me apart-apart-apart) Apart... [Chorus] Vultures in my head, tearing at the seams (tearing at the seems) Feasting on regrets and unraveling all my dreams (all my dreams) NO! I scream but they don’t hear me, I fight but I keep falling (falling!) There lives Vultures in my head (Vultures In My Head!!) ...and they’re taking it all... [guitar solo] [musical buildup] [heavy guitar breakdown] [Verse 2] These wings of a dark obsession, (obsession) they are clawing at my chest (chest-chest-chest) They are ripping through my confession, (confession) leaving nothing left (nothing left!) YEAH! Your voice is just a shadow now, JUST a whisper in the void (in the void!) And Every Single truth you spoke ... was just another lie deployed (Just another lie...) [musical break] [acoustic guitar riff] [drum solo slow and light] [whispered] There lives VULTURES in my head (in my head) And these VULTURE float over my soul (over my soul...) What... Will... I do.... (what will i do?) [bass drop] [epic drum fill] [Pre-Chorus] I tried to burn down the walls, but they’re built from my bones Now I’m stuck in this cage, but I made it my home (made it my HOME) VULTURES! [Chorus] Vultures in my head, tearing at the seams (tearing at the seems) Feasting on regrets and unraveling all my dreams (all my dreams) NO! I scream but they don’t hear me, I fight but I keep falling (falling!) There lives Vultures in my head (Vultures In My Head!!) ...and they’re taking it all... [guitar solo] [Bridge] Feathers fall like broken glass, cutting through the air I’m choking on the ashes of every broken prayer You left me to the vultures, but I won’t fade away I’ll set this sky on fire and burn their wings today [Breakdown] Let it burn—let it break! Watch them scatter as I wake! No more feeding on my soul! I’m taking back control (my CONTROL!)! [Final Chorus] VULTURES! No more vultures in my head, no more silent screams Rising from the wreckage, stitching shattered dreams I screamed and now they hear, I fought and I won No more vultures in my head— I’m brighter than the sun! (No more) VULTURES IN MY HEAD, (No more) VULTURES IN MY HEAD, (No more) VULTURES IN MY HEAD, (No more!) [outro guitar solo] [whispered] There lives VULTURES in my head (in my head) And these VULTURES float over my soul (over my soul...) What... Will... I do.... (what will i do?) [bass drop] [epic drum fill] [Pre-Chorus] I tried to burn down the walls, but they’re built from my bones Now I’m stuck in this cage, but I made it my home (made it my HOME) VULTURES! [Chorus] Vultures in my head, tearing at the seams (tearing at the seems) Feasting on regrets and unraveling all my dreams (all my dreams) NO! I scream but they don’t hear me, I fight but I keep falling (falling!) There lives Vultures in my head (Vultures In My Head!!) ...and they’re taking it all... [guitar solo] [Bridge] Feathers fall like broken glass, cutting through the air I’m choking on the ashes of every broken prayer You left me to the vultures, but I won’t fade away I’ll set this sky on fire and burn their wings today [Breakdown] Let it burn—let it break!
