looking for angels

going through this life looking for angels 

clinching my fists ready to stand strong
the world passing me by, my standing ovation to the world is where i belong

the forsaken is my last breath walking down the streets is my last look before i open my eyes with all new problems with all new pains

from sunset to sunrise my dreams turn to sunrise as my nightmares turn to fear

i take your hand as you step into my nightmare, just a smile, the gleam in your eye as the sunrise comes up from the rising depths

i look down from a place we call home amongst different human faces, these angels show up in the strangest places

the wars are the battles we fight to thrive, to stay alive

the streets are demons and the daily doses of injections 

the hand squeezes the indents that are identical to mine

a generation so cold bruised knees, broken hearts looking for angels 

the love cancels out the salvation heaven and hell bring the redemption 

the world is a broken bone the angels graffiti back in your technicolor eyes

the mask is the sheild that reveals a scar that bleeds the angels as your guide back to autumn leaves, bright eyes, eternal sunshine a place of color i know that still shines when i close my eye, i lay my head down i see inside, i see angels
