Lyrics
SHADOW OF AN ANGEL
You finally got what you wanted,
Your broken name in lights,
A crucified reflection of
A stupid useless crime.
You finally got what you wanted,
A numbness you could feel.
A dream of wasted faces,
The assurance that its real.
And I know youre right here with me,
Like the distance in the night.
Like the shadow of an angel,
You cast your absence in my life.
You finally got what you wanted,
A shallow empty skin,
A drug to dull the pain of
Breathing out and breathing in.
And I know youre right here with me,
Like the distance in the night.
Like the shadow of an angel,
You cast your absence in my life
Like some drunken ballerina
Spinning out of control.
A thing of grace and beauty
Rotting in this hole,
And I know youre right here with me,
Like the distance in the night.
Like the shadow of an angel,
You cast your absence in my life
