Lyrics The Family God - Angels of Light

The Family God

She waited right here for 25 years
With nothing to win she wasted her tears
She nailed shut the door
Spilled herself on the floor
She waited too long
Then she waited some more
Counting the hours
How much can you take
And what does she feel
When she finally breaks
And what was his name
Oh God he fucked like a prince
He bought her some gifts
And new pills to take
A Japanese sword
A German gun with a shine
A ring like the sun
And a box with gold lines
And a room with a bed
Some thin cigarettes
A window that stained
And an endless ache
That would never be
Could never be
Could never be
Could never be
Released
There are people like us
And we walk through this place
And we look just like you
But it’s you that we hate
With your struggles and joys
And your freedom to choose
And your freedom to choose
Your freedom to choose
Counting the time
Filling the glass
Counting our breath
Which one will come last
And what is this face
I don’t recognize
Who’s kissing those eyes
That watch as you cry
What have I done
I don’t care any more
What have I become
Who cares any more
Just give me some more
Give me some more
Just give me some more
Give me some more
Release
