black angel ft. Emma Shippen Lyrics

(Oh, black angel)

(Oh, black angel)

It's not your fault; it was never there to halt

Five years down the line, still haven't learned a thing

I wallow in the doubt of a man still breathing out

From the past he tries so hard to shake

Bend, bow

Kneel before the grace of an angel

Bend, bow

Break before the end

Cut me down with your eyes

(I'm addicted to misery)

So choked up on my lies

Break before the end

Oh, black angel, take me away

Take my soul, it seems I'm starting to decay

Oh, black angel, get in my way

Colours blind me from your sight

Show me what's in black and white

Black and white

Bend, bow

Break before the end

Broken wings all scuffed up and scattered

The damage never mattered to me

Strip the cold shell away, take my body for parts

Fuck it up and tear me open, I'll give you my heart

(Maybe I just love how fucked up you are)

Pull my bones apart

I'll give you my heart

(My heart)

I'll give you my heart

Oh, black angel, take me away

Take my soul, it seems I'm starting to decay

Oh, black angel, take me away

Take my soul, it seems I'm starting to decay

Oh, black angel, get in my way

Colours blind me from your sight

Show me what's in black and white

So here we go again down this rabbit hole

Just what the doctor ordered

A shitty hand and another drug to rely on

Yes, I brought this on myself

But the line is so faded and jaded

I can't see where I used to draw it anymore

Yes you may, black angel

But I won't break before the end

Yes you may, welcome to stay

Black angel

"Are you okay?"

Apart from the fact I don't sleep

Relying on substance to knock me out

And each day it seems easier to fade into the black

Yeah, I'm okay, just should have stayed away

This bottle can't save my soul

These drugs won't make me whole

This bottle won't save my soul

So brittle, so weak, it's taking it's toll

This bottle can't save my soul

These drugs won't make me whole

So I'll bend and break and hope that sometime I'll forget

Yes you may, black angel

Sever my soul into the flame

With all your pain

I remain yours to claim

Oh, black angel, take me away

Take my soul, it seems I'm starting to decay

Oh, black angel
