Jake Wesley Rogers - Dark Bird

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1551342
Intro
Get your candles from the drug store
Draw a circle in the dirt floor
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird, oh

Verse 1
I didn't learn it from the righteous one, I learned it from the preacher’s son
Askin' Lucifer in Sunday school to help me stretch before I run
Say goodbye to Mona Lisa 'cause she’s jumpin' out the frame, jumpin' out the frame
Goodbye, family, sad to leave you but I'm killin' yesterday, killin' yesterday

Chorus
Like the dark bird
All good witches burn with laughter
All good lovers love 'til it hurts
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird, oh

Verse 2
I saw a raven on a stranger's arm, I asked them where they got it from
They said the eagle was so evil that he hid the sun from everyone
So the raven stole the light back and he gave it all away, gave it all away
Goodbye, family, sad to leave you but I’m killin’ yesterday, killin' yesterday

Chorus
Like the dark bird
All good witches burn with laughter
All good lovers love ’til it hurts
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird
Get your colors from the thrift store
Trade your halo for a pitchfork
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird, oh, oh-ayy

Bridge
It's a fine, fine line between a man and a monster
Fine, fine line between a lover and a friend
Fine, fine line between divine and disaster
It never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ends
Oh (It's a fine, fine line)
And it never, never, never, never

Chorus
Like the dark bird
All good witches burn with laughter
All good lovers love 'til it hurts
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird
Get your candles from the drug store
Draw a circle in the dirt floor
All good martyrs get the last word
I got the last word
Like the dark bird, oh
Like the dark bird, oh

Biography

edit bio
Soulful vocal melodies, driving musical arrangements, and artful lyricism are where Jake Wesley Rogers' shines – the sum cascading forward in striking compositions. The results quiet a room – making an immediate appeal to the soul. Rogers' age is starkly contrasted with his immensely powerful lyrics and equally rousing singing voice – an electric stage presence at the intersection of Madonna and James Blake.

Jake Wesley Rogers’ musical journey began in his younger years, inspired by a torrent of coming-of-age questions and fuelled by the vocal powerhouse artists of the time (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga). But the adventure he now embarks on is a true voyage of discovery, rendered in song with earnest honesty. What was once a young man finding his way through solitary expression, now emerges an artist embracing a new future standing on the shoulders of his own younger self.
