If the hawks in the trees need the dead if
Bm

you're living you don't stand a chance
Em 
You can lie there and say you are fed but
Bm 
D 
there are only two ends to this dance
Am 
You can flee with your wounds just in
G 
time or lie there as he feeds
Am 
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
G 
and laughing as you bleed
