Fallen angels

let the angels cry for me
the gate is open but I stay
in the corner of my earthen cage

I'm locked away and all these
twisted screws inside my head
keep taunting me

"why me?"

i fold my wings
and cross my heart
hoping to fall

i shake the muddy bars wishfully
maybe i'll get buried alive
the gate has always been open

but i've stayed
in the corner of this cage
I keep myself gasping

my body begging for air
i'm hardly breathing
my lungs are on fire
asphyxiation of my soul

life taking its toll
i hope my peers will sing for me
as my cage sinks even deeper

below their feet
and as my siblings droop their wings
i scream to let the angels cry for me

i have twisted screws inside my head
i found they got there by my own hands
it is hard to breathe now
it pains to cry

life taking inventory
will they sing for me?
is it too late to save

what's already fallen?
can I ever fly again?
asphyxiation of my soul

my wings are blackened with dirt
no one told me life on earth
was filled with so much love
and so much damn hurt

is it too late to undo, what fate has caused upon us?
"is it too late to be saved?
i know i have already fallen!"

"please absolve me"
"i'm terrified!" i rattle the bars
and i scream "let the angels cry for me"

the gate is open but i stay
in the corner of my earthen cage
i shake the muddy bars
begging for what's left

as my cage sinks deeper
into the depths of despair
asphyxiation of my soul

my wings are covered
blackened by dirt
it hurts to exist
it hurts to grieve
my soul is now indisposed
could you forgive me, please?
I'm on my knees

will the angels cry for me?
will they forgive me?
will they ever love me?

the gate is open but I stay in the corner
of my earthen cage
