When Angels Fly Away

A message in the dark
The quiet screams the loudest
Missing the one taken too soon
I knew it was soon
You’d be gone too

Please, God, hear me just once!
I need to send a message of my own!

Stopped in my tracks
Am I held back instead?
Please, let me go!
No, the voice said

There’s nothing to do

Please, God, hear me just once!
I need to send a message of my own!
Was it really your choice?!
To send them back home?!
 
And leave me here, alone?

Oh, what have you done?!
We can’t say sorry! We can’t fix it!
Not this time! Not this time!
NEVER AGAIN!

HEAR ME!
PLEASE, HEAR ME!

Let go
As you fly away
--------------------------------------
Echoing through the walls
So many times, I heard you cry
They say, hardness is death
Grow strong and hard, and die
I see it differently

My life is a story
With hidden nightmares
Little secrets
That everyone is aware of

A shot down the hall
Where am I?
A different month, the same other bed
Who am I, today?
Depends on who's asking, or in my way
Since you went away

I sold my soul
A cracked bottle at a time
I went to sleep
And never woke up
We lost ourselves, that night

I've lied through my teeth
But still bled the tears
I've burned every bridge
But I've earned every scar

Angels fly away

The boy dies, the man rots
We pay the price
For the life we choose
And, now, I've found

I have nothing left to say
