Old Crows
Alexisonfire

Old crows ride in the mouth of the beast

Sleep beneath it's tongue, cradled by it's teeth

We roam from shore to shore

From the open sky to the ocean floor


The more we move, the less we are ourselves

And when we finally stop, we change to something else


As rapid as, a river flows

As frigid as, the cold wind can blow

As devious as the devil's grin

Our blood is cold as we she'd our skin now


We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

Oh-oh-oh

We are are not the kids we used to be

Stop wishing for yesterday


The crows are calling, seems the end is near

They're spelling out our names yet we have no fear

All the damage that a man can do

When ambition takes over we search for the truth


Sometimes, life just gets the best of us

Some things in life will get the best of us


We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

Oh-oh-oh (stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

Stop wishing for yesterday

Wishing for yesterday!


Every skyline beats in my chest

Somewhere between love and sadness

This is our fate, this is our test

We ride in the mouth of madness


As rapid as a river flows

As frigid as the cold wind can blow

As devious as the devil's creep

Our blood is cold, now we'll she'd our skin!


We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

Oh-oh-oh (stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

We are are not the kids we used to be

(Stop wishing for yesterday)

Wishing for yesterday

Wishing for yesterday
