heaven is higher than it seems
hell is hardly lower
the broken dreams
burnt houses
darkened castles
the ashes fall
the smoke will ever rise
the fires ever burn
this haunted home of mine
home
an empty word
'home is where the heart is'
too bad my heart is in so many pieces
i was banished here
'unholy'
'disgraceful'
i was called
i was beaten
broken
scorned
and now im here
my wings were burnt
while they smiled
watched
angels werent meant to be so heartless
the sharp thorns i still wear
wings trail behind me
leaving a bloodied line behind me
'find me if you will'
really, dont bother
too broken to be fixed
too scared to remain
this deadly burden i still bear
i cant live like
this
help
im an angel
was*
and heaven forbid
im in love with a demon
i tried to fly back up
reach the sun
fall into its scorching depths
but no
hell i will remain
right here
the fires hold no heat
no comfort
can i not let go?
im used to it now
the cold
solid
ice
covers my heart
keeps it safe
keeps it from your unforgiving embrace
i wont let go
because
i cant
fallen angels
darken the horizon
i am one of them

dont try change me
my skeletons are in the closet
locked away for good
                ive left them all alone
                    theyre still in heaven
a shell of who i was
well that side of me is gone,
buried with the dreams
                  and to be dug up with the heartbreak
               maybe im better off in hell
            'angel'
           what title is that?
         one of belonging to another
       but.. im not an angel anymore
   maybe i can live with that

so ill spread my broken bloodied wings
and fly to the eclipse
where the moon no longer shines
ill be there
              in the dark
                       
  find me if you will
