Harpy

The trees will be grey as long as you'll stay
I prayed yesterday, could you hear me anyway?
You trace your fingers right down my spine
Cold breath reminds me that you are mine

Lick off your dagger, tighten your talons
Pick me up high by the skin of my back
Don't you feel sorry for bones when you drop me
Lay me down softly in oceans of black
Blue air caress me, cold ground please kiss me
I fell in the snow and punched through a hole
Lick of your dagger, tighten your talons
Leave me there flat on my back

My ribs must be showing I'm falling apart
Am I the same as I was at the start?
I'll be a martyr, I'll starve for my art
Are we the same as we were at the start?

Lick off your dagger, tighten your talons
Pick me up high by the skin of my back
Don't you feel sorry for bones when you drop me
Lay me down softly in oceans of black
Blue air caress me, cold ground please kiss me
I fell in the snow and punched through a hole
Lick of your dagger, tighten your talons, leave me there
