The Opposite Angel & Holy Angel (Fall Back Down)

cut the cord and then the vein
why live this life, you can rush its end
end of yours to cause others’ pain
no love for you the holes to mend
tears they swell and hit the ground
when heaven’s angels fall back down

in touch with me, touching you
I’ll never see your face again
photographs and memories
taking medications for your sin

self destructing genocide
you stopped your path, the life you lied
no longer can I feel you by my side
because you wanted to choose the day you’d die

pull the trigger end the pain
medicated life in vain
squeeze it just a little harder now
blow it all away

cut the cord and then the vein
why live this life, what’s left to gain
end of yours to cause others’ pain
no love for you, you can make it all end
tears they swell and hit the ground
when heaven’s angels fall back down

feeling like you were the one
who had scattered all the diamonds in the sky
you never told me that you knew
how and when and why you’d die

rip it all apart, metal skin and bone
let me hear your words again
protecting me from my sins
and leaving me here all alone

just keep driving end the pain
it wasn’t worth your life in vain
squeeze my hand a little harder now
before you go away

cut the cord and then the vein
why live this life, when you can die today
end of yours to cause others’ pain
nothing to mend the holes in my soul
tears they swell and hit the ground
when heaven’s angels fall back down



Take me home
