Wolfin' Down Your Heart

You’re wolfin’ down your heart
You’ve hollowed out your soul
Your empty hands
Are enough to starve from
But still full enough to choke

Black crows
They’re waiting for you
They know
Your ego’s an empty bowl

You’re searchin’ to hold on to
Just something you can use
Crumbs you dropped
The thread from your buttons
The laces off of your own shoes

Black crows
They’re waiting for you
They know
Your ego’s an empty bowl
 
Climb to the top of your world
To find that there’s nobody there
One set of boots at a time on the summit
It’s lonely when there’s no room to share

Black crows
They’re circling you
They know
Your ego’s an empty bowl

The heart’s to be given away
Just as it was made
The soul’s a much more ephemeral engine
Not tethered to earthbound ways
You can say hello and settle in
Or hop upon the slightest breeze
If it doesn’t take you where
You hoped it would go
May it land you square on your knees

Black crows
They’re waiting for you
They know your ego…your ego
Black crows
On the telephone poles
They know your ego…your ego
Black crows
On the side of the road
They know your ego’s an empty bowl

You’re wolfin’ down your heart!
