Verse 1 (TranSlucEnt):
A common connection severed; disgraced, replaced, defaced/
By the mundane urges that go to waste/
The stressors, carefully placed within the pressures/
Surrounding my mind when its caving into better/
Ways of dealing with this force of manipulation/
That black crow stays perched on my mind waitin'/
For a chance to strike/
When that clock strikes midnight/
Wings spread to take flight/
Into the void of spite/
Standing here clutching the beat of light the angel gave me/
Before it collapsed of fright and passed away safely/
Feeling life slip right through it's fingertips/
Sealed off the heavens but still wanting to finish this/
Method of madness, let the walls cave in/
With the intent to cleanse whats under the skin/
All the while, that black crow sits and observes/
The impact of the words until the lifelines are blurred/
Deep into the void better known as regret/
Pushing for it's eradication until I run out of breath/
But it stays vigilant, listening in/
To the sibilant sounds arising after it's incident/

Chorus (TranSlucEnt):

Say Hello, Black Crow/
It's very nice to meet you/
Wearing the crown of thorns/
The rationale is see through/
And I should know better than to stay/
But your words are so intoxicating/
I just cant pull away, Say/
Say Hello, Black Crow/
It's very nice to meet you/
I'd love to stay, but I must be on my way/
Don't cry little buddy/
I'll see you another day/
And I wouldnt want it any other way/

Verse 2 (TranSlucEnt):

Unbeknownst to it's knowledge/
Modern Men submerged/
Position of power into the doubt
Holding out the coward/
In the animal, enclosed in the hollowed out hearts of the forsaken/
That love was almost tangible/
Not far enough to chase, not close enough to hold/
Tightly with the vice grip, stunting it's growth/
With a smile on my face/
Not letting it get away/
Until the omens are cast astray on a sunny day/
I'm touching the idea of heaven, I can taste it/
Locking my skeletons in the depths of my basement/
Crying out to the crow circling my soul/
With my death grips on it's wings not letting go/
But let that pain show, and let those tears flow/
Open up the barricaded heart and let the spirit glow/
Yet that black crow stays watching me from the awning/
And it's longing to manipulate the spirit of belonging/
But I know, I wear a mask too/
Smile at everybody who just passes you/
A smile holds a thousand motives/
And the black crow stays hidden within that everyday emotion/

Chorus (North Star Wisdom):

Say Hello, Black Crow/
It's very nice to meet you/
Wearing the crown of thorns/
The rationale is see through/
I should know better than to stay/
But your words are so intoxicating/
I just cant pull away, Say/
Hey Black Crow/
It's very nice to meet you/
I'd love to stay/
But I must be on my way/
Don't cry, I'll see you another day/
I wouldn't want it any other way/

Verse 3 (North Star Wisdom):

Here's to wishin' that I wasn't so sick and so vivid/
Live in sin sin sin so I sing sing sing it/
Let it sink in, let it reproduce, I'm an infant in a seasoned womb/
I'm seein' through the sea of blues and floatin' on a sequence, choose/
To be free or be trapped to be speed or knees snapped/
Relapse reflex be stressed max or relax/
I see past the trees collapse and plant the seeds in needle marks/
You wanna take my blood while I'm kicking back in the reapers arms/
I say no to that float in the ozone of old souls/
Who choke on they breakfast, learn the news of the chokehold/
The chopping block is full of rotten thoughts, impossible quotes/
And offerings of peace that make me sleepless and controlled/
It's so cold, here in the middle of the summer/
Watch the black clouds drip acid rain, block the sun and/
Black crows flock together 'till they drop from the horizon, We/
sink as one unknown nobody's a survivor, You don't get it
