Sharp Elbows Pt. 2 by Tigerwine Lyrics

The ravens still bear their beaks
And they're still coming down from the tops of the trees
I wouldn't let you change me. I had so many excuses not to be free
I had so many excuses

You didn't look at yourself and vow to uproot a family
(But) I told the mirror I wouldn't be
Broken by curses never aimed at me
Cause yours was a noble defense
But mine was an indulgent resentment

Why did I paint
You like a shadow?
A face of dark gray
And a heart of yellow

I held onto the hate using broad strokes
But I had an incomplete pallet so

Why did I paint
You like a shadow?
A face of dark gray
And a heart of yellow
My memory is short, like my temper
My own righteous words sunk in deeper
