Raven

Matt Parker

If you get rid of me
The tower will fall down
Can’t wait to see the back of me
Not hard to push around
That’s what you wanted all along
But your prediction’s very wrong

(Chorus)
Taking flight the raven turns and then escapes
Wraps its wings in an embrace
That’s soon replaced

You think you can dishonour me
And maybe that’s your plan
I sympathise to some degree
But expect the final stand
I can see it in your eyes
So it comes as no surprise

Sticks and stones
Can’t scar these brittle bones
But the words they always sting
When you say them
