Angel's Song Won't Ever Get Sung

You mixed the chemicals

The air use to smell like dust

Ripped soul got to fly out

Butterflies can't even try now

There's a window up ahead

But I hop

Wishing I could fly instead

Inside your pocket lies my medicine

But you say I've done a greater sin

Keeping me close 'til I can't breathe

Smoke and ash suffocating me

You've got the respirator

You've got the plans

I'll be burned up

Before the fire gets started

And oh, darling

I'm falling while my wings change color

Bleaching out one another

From black to white to blue

I keep my head up and think of you

The old version, memories so bittersweet

You use to hold tight and whisper to me

Anything my heart desired, you'd get it for me

But now you're my jailor

I want to be set free

My feet are bleeding

My wings are broken

My face is cracking

My heart is melting

You get so strong

As I grow weak

Everyday, down on my knees

If you're ever through, with me

I won't ever stop

Bleeding

My life's a broken lung

Half a heart,

It's only just begun.

I sit at the edge of the light

My feathers molting

I'd rather die

And you lie

But you won't cry

And my pain's locked up in the freezer

You give me honey

But your such a teaser

Bitter everything on my tongue

It's only just begun.

I sit at the edge of the light

My feathers molting

Maybe I'll slip away tonight
