such things happen - last house on the left lyrics

there they lay dead together
two pigeons in the park in december
necks ruffled feathers a flurry
tattered wings blanketed across the concrete

as sudden as thunder, a dog barks
the pigeon hangs limp between its teeth
its eyes fixated upon me
i know it’s my mary’s stare
i hear it cry out to me
why am i still breathing?!?
