lyrics

"Black Birds"
{ in memory of Aaron Mills.}

if you take an arrow every single day
with cuts and bruises that you hide away

and all your good days, are days too far away
and all your bad ones won't go away

if you can't find it
something that you love
if you can't feel it
hope to carry on

just don't give up

if black birds are singing but you only hear the rain
the pills they gave you don't take away the pain

and all your good days are days too far away
and all your bad ones won't go away

if you can't find it
something that you love
if you can't feel it
hope to carry on

just don't give up
