lyrics

Time makes you stronger
Crying makes you weak
The scars on your hands from the fire make you weep

Try to control it
The shaking of your voice
Five minutes to showtime
You’ve run out of choice

You know it’s a fact
You’ll open your mouth, it’ll turn up slack
The birds in the black, they always fly back for more
Again and again

They say they’re going to promote you
With a plan they have conceived
Oblivious to injury, the problem they can’t see

Time makes you weaker
Crying makes you strong
The shock from the microphone
Will clip you if you’re wrong

You know it’s a fact
You’ll open your mouth, it’ll turn up slack
The birds in the black, they always fly back for more
Again and again

You know it’s the truth
You’ll open your mouth and it’s full of hoof
The birds in the black, they always fly back
