The Angel of Doubt |
«Lights off as ever the road to sleep |
Is closed for thought, you’re welcome to visit me, babe |
In the meantime it’d be nice to see you |
But I know you’ve been trying to keep your demons at bay |
Too late we can darken the darkest rooms |
To test your strength, you’re so proud of the things you’re not doing |
We’ve been through this, you say you won’t do them |
Like you couldn’t though we both know |
You’ve done them with me babe |
Well regardless it’s been nice to see you |
I know you’ve been trying to keep your demons at bay |
To keep us at bay |
To keep me in bay" |
Take me away darling family |
I feel like I’m losing a thread |
When I’m alone with my vanity |
I go back to striving after wind |
'Til I could trade our happiness for a melody |
And someone to sing it with me |
We’re like our lovers |
We love our children |
Nothing to see here |
Nothing to hear, listen |
We’re just pretending |
We want more freedom |
Nothing to see here |
Nothing to hear, listen |
When I first met you dear family |
I had so much time on my hands |
No one to question my vanity |
Or keep me from striving after wind |
Everything was meaningless but these melodies |
That keep coming to me: |
We’re like our lovers |
We love our children |
Nothing to see here |
Nothing to hear, listen |
We’re just pretending |
We want more freedom |
Nothing to see here |
Nothing to hear, listen |
It’s 4 a. |
m |
Our families are sleeping |
We’re all alone |
Our demons are hissing |
«What if you’re wrong? |
You might be wrong |
What if you’re wrong? |
You might be |
What if you’re wrong? |
You might be wrong |
What if you’re wrong? |
You might be |
What if you’re wrong? |
Is it all your fault? |
Has it been too long? |
Is this all for naught? |
Are you so far gone |
That you can’t get caught? |
And what if you’re wrong? |
‘Cause you might be |
I know you think that you can keep your feelings in the dark |
Calling every heart a spade and every spade a heart |
Even as the dreams you’ve been burying alive |
Start to dig each other up in the dead of night |
Now they’re marching from the cemetery to your bed |
I’m on your shoulder warning you they’re coming for your head |
You’re saying «get behind me, you’re the devil’s spawn» |
But listen to me, that wouldn’t make me wrong |
Do you doubt me? |
You doubt me |
Babe I’ve been down this road a time or two before |
It’s paved with intentions every bit as good as yours |
Takes you away from what you wish you didn’t want |
So it must be right, right? |
Ha! |
Why don’t you ask your family why you’re working like a dog |
Who thinks he’s getting paid in credit at the butcher shop |
Or you could ask the queen of the ones who got away |
Who can’t remember why she chose your rival by the way |
Maybe you’ve already dug yourself too deep a hole |
Mining for the pretty things that satisfy your soul |
A soul it sounds like I’ll be getting for a song |
I hope you’re ready, you better hope I’m wrong |
As I might be" |
