an Angel

look at me
you know me
arms crossed on my shoulders
standing here half-natural
would you believe
i was an angel...

an angel.

would you believe
where i'm from and
that from my back
these blades
once held
two wings...

an angel.

would you believe
i have fallen
but hes still here
somewhere
waking to join you...

an angel.

would you believe
i just need someone
to need me
like i need you
my shining stars
you are...

all Angels.

look at me.
you know me.
would you believe?

darker places
ive never been
only seen them
in the eyes
of those
who fear

who fears?

not i.
not ever.

This Lie

even tears fall far from me now
im not sure if i remember how
to cry

everytime i stand up
and step forward
to try

i fall harder than the last time
theres always another excuse
thats why

i drink so i dont live
living is harder now than it is
to die

a part of me sleeps
while the rest of me waits to wake
and fly

people think they know me
but they have no idea
theres so much more to me than this lie...

this lie is beauty

this lie is forever

this lie is external

this lie is me

as most know me

this lie is Colin

while Akh sits and stares

in awe of this mess
