lyrics

Where are my angels where are the wings in which I believe,
do they appear when I'm grateful for all that I receive.
What a shame for me to believe that we're all of equal worth.
So I sleep because it's better to dream than to stay awake on this earth.

If I'll be your evil, then you'll be my good,
spent enough time carving halos to know I'm no good for you.
If I tore us apart would you still feel the same,
spent enough time losing hearts to know you will forget me.

I lay on the cheap side of a fence you call war,
lay on my good side my old bones may heal by the morn,
and I'm so thin, I can't remember how to eat how the sun used to feel on my skin,
maybe it's time?

See I prayed for the sun, but the sun wouldn't warm up my heart.
Still I stay the coldest drunk, now how can I pray to a God?
