  • Verse 1
    The black 
    bird 
    sits 
    atop 
    my 
    guts 

    and spreads 
    its 
    wings 
    for flight 

    My shoulders 
    back, 
    my jaw 
    pushed 
    out, 

    my stomach 
    sucked 
    in 

    Its 
    wingtips push 
    across 
    my 
    lungs 

    and fill 
    them 
    full 
    of feathers 

    But 
    the 
    brushstrokes feel 
    like 

    Verse 2
    hearth 
    pokes 
    into 
    my 
    skin 

    The black 
    bird 
    feasts 
    upon 
    my 
    guts 
    and 

    bears 
    its 
    beak 
    to 
    fight 

    My shoulders 
    back
    my jaw 
    pushed 
    out, 

    my 
    stomach 
    sucked 
    in 

    Its 
    wingtips push 
    across 
    my 
    lungs 

    and 
    fill 
    them 
    full 
    of feathers 

    Now 
    they poke 
    between 
    my 

    teeth 
    and 
    that's 
    why 
    thirst 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    When 
    he flies 
    me 
    to 
    the top 

    there's 
    nothing 
    but 
    the fo

    heart 
    of stone
    egg 
    shell 
    for 
    bones, 

    they 
    lead you 
    to 
    be lost 

    The 
    dark 
    slope 
    drag

    you 
    down 

    The black 
    bird 
    is 
    part 
    of 
    me, 

    so 
    sad 
    to 
    see 


    So 
    sad 
    to be 
    me 

    Verse 4
    ask 
    be
    fore 
    go 
    for 
    you 
    to 
    drop 

    lit 
    match 
    down 
    my throat 

    And 
    smoke 
    the 
    bastard 
    out 

    or burn 
    him 
    to 
    cris

    Cause 
    I'm 
    already 
    carrion, 

    been 
    eaten 
    from 
    the 
    inside 
    too 
    long 

    This 
    black 
    bird 
    wants 
    to 
    rip 

    me 
    limb 
    from 
    limb 

    The black 
    bird 
    dips 
    its 
    beak 
    in 
    blood 
    and 
    writes 

    its 
    thoughts 
    in cursive 
    'cross 

    The bones 
    that 
    are 
    its 

    jailer 
    and 
    my 
    ribcage 

    And 
    when 
    you 
    turn 
    me 
    inside 
    out, 

    be
    lieve 
    in 
    me 
    without 
    a doubt 

    The 
    word
    were 
    all 
    of 
    his 

    and 
    none 
    of 
    mine 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    When 
    he 
    flies 
    me 
    to 
    the top 

    there's 
    nothing 
    but 
    the 
    fo

    heart 
    of 
    stone, 
    egg 
    shell 
    for 
    bones, 

    they 
    lead 
    you 
    to 
    be 
    lost 

    The 
    dark 
    slope 
    drags 
    you 
    down 

    The 
    black 
    bird 
    is 
    part 
    of 
    me, 

    so 
    sad 
    to 
    see 

    So 
    sad 
    to 
    be 
    me

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
