lyrics

Fear is a shadow crawling in the dark
In a cold and empty part of this town
Forever thinking our eyes are all that see
When our minds see beyond the roots and feathers

Your accident is on my mind
I watch you as the car drives by
If you're out there as an injured crow
Could you accidentally let me know
Could you let me know

I'm drawn to your sadness, I'm taken by your lies
When the truth revealed is I'm no better
Albeit somewhat I've known you all my life
Without seeing through your roots and feathers

Your accident is on my mind
I watch you as the car drives by
If you're out there as an injured crow
Could you accidentally let me know
Could you let me know

Growing through soil, soaring through skies
You're a reason when not much matters
How are we seen by the eyes of our kin
An extension of our roots and feathers

Your accident is on my mind
I watch you as the car drives by
If you're out there as an injured crow
Could you accidentally let me know

Oh your accident is on my mind
And watch you as the car drives by
And you're out there as an injured crow
Would you accidentally let me know
Would you let me know
