Lyrics Vultures (be There For Me)

howling breaks the silence

vultures and the spiders

footsteps on the roof

and that’s not nearly all

wolves are close behind us

they’re always breathing down my bony neck

“child, shut your eyes and pray that god makes them leave”

a fear washes over me

and i need to know

will you be there for me when i fall to pieces

will you listen to me as i’m falling to pieces

will you stand here right beside

i truly hear things in the night

i’m always hiding under mattresses and now i’ll never come out

i’ll never get up

i heard the doctor say there’s some kind of drug that makes it always birthday morning, halloween, and christmas day that i’ll take until my white old age

but i need to know

just what to do now

will you be there for me when i fall to pieces

will you listen to me as i’m falling to pieces

will you sing me to sleep when my ears won’t stop ringing

or will you whisper to me pretty lies as you’re leaving

will you be there for me

i truly hear things in the night (be there for me)

i truly hear things in the nighttime alone (be there for me)
