The crows flock to misery, not to peck at death but to keep Despair Company And the songbirds of poets, bring me their lilies, second-hand roses, Wilted to ruin. My heart, mirrored in their image, is Blackened and broken, battered and bruised She longs for tenderness, to sow what had Withered And there you stand Jealousy in hand Hit me over the head with it And I’ll fall for you again My Saccharine Suicide, will be ever sweet And when I die It will be at your Feet The crows flock to Misery, Beaks plunging into sockets. Tears trail down stone cheeks Blood drips down, Tears

Despair oh how you Haunt my Saccharine Suicide
The crows flock to misery, not to peck at death but to keep Despair Company And the songbirds of poets, bring me their lilies, second-hand roses, Wilted to ruin. My heart, mirrored in their image, is Blackened and broken, battered and bruised She longs for tenderness, to sow what had Withered And there you stand Jealousy in hand Hit me over the head with it And I’ll fall for you again My Saccharine Suicide, will be ever sweet And when I die It will be at your Feet The crows flock to Misery, Beaks plunging into sockets. Tears trail down stone cheeks Blood drips down, Tears
