angel from Broken Brain by Jake Walters

i've been praying a lot
but i'm not quite sure
if anyone is listening.
i cried so much
last year
that there's no more tears.

an old man once said to me
that he saw an angel in his dreams.
but the monster inside
made the dream die.

and, one can't have an angel
without a monster.
i found one
when i lost the other.
you're an angel
and i'm a monster.
change the angles, complete the slaughter.

i've been smoking a lot
but, i'm not sure
if i'm addicted yet.
i yelled so loud
just to make you proud.

and, my father once said to me
that angels only exist in dreams.
and, the monster inside
is there until we die.

and, one can't have an angel
without a monster.
i found one
when i lost the other.
you're an angel
and i'm a fucking monster!
change the angles, complete the slaughter.

i see the light
i hear the song.
heaven and hell,
forever is too long.
i see your light
i hear your song.
life and death,
they both sound so wrong.

turn out the lights.
