ruined life

  

'I Killed An Angel'
 
let's go out
for a night on the town
it's all on me
but you get the next round
 
take these pills
you'll be alright
no more crying tonight
 
i'll cut my wrist
and bleed for you
with a silver rose
my love is true
 
go to sleep my darlin
rest your weary head
close your eyes to all the pain
morning comes too fast
 
let's go out
for a night on the town
they all blame me
they say i bring you down
 
take these pills
you'll see alright
we'll party and dance all night
 
i know you're tired
and i'm just a fool
i wrecked you
and warped you
and gave you the tools
 
now i've been taken away
locked in a cell
i pushed it too far
and finally fell
 
you cut your wrist
and bled for me
with a silver rose
and empathy
 
i put you up
on a pedestal
you were the
portrait of perfection
 
but then i pulled you down
 
now i realize
yeah, i realize
i killed an angel

Behind these eyes lies shards of ice, rusted nails, cigarette burns, broken glass and bullet holes.
