I speak to you not of loneliness
or broken hearts and silent pleas...
but of broken dreams and promises
that severed angels wings.
And yes, it is a story of love
though just a sentence short.
About a boy who loved a girl...
that fucked another boy for sport!
But no mistakes because I'm not aching...
the angel wasn't me...
but the foolish girl who sold her soul
for her curiosity...
And now she's feeling empty
like a dead doll who can't sleep.
And I refuse to lick her wounds
for fear she'll poison me...
And sure...
MY WINGS don't help me fly...
or stop me from my falls...
and they're charcoal black instead of white,
but I'll have them over none at all.
So what to do with this pretty girl,
this sulken broken dream..?
I mean..surely I can't pity her..?
As pathetic as I seem...
Do I even try to learn this song
that I could never sing?
Or fly away with teary eyes...
on blackened broken wings..?
