angels lost
here lies me today
i’d have you call me whatever you want
everybody knew me as second best
except for the camera
if heaven was a personality
you would’ve always seen me dressed in it
every day it gets harder
to take life and make the best of it
dying young as i was in the photograph
spoon-fed until pleasured and dumb
porcelain doll collecting dust asked
to trade the final draft for glamour and fun
i let my hair down when the lights dim
they threw me in the deep end but i couldn’t swim
wake up
quit your dreaming
every day i wake up all alone
but that’s when i feel most at home
i hope
i won’t be poisoned
by the time i’m forty-three
will it mean anything to me?
i had dreams of being a beautiful poet
but instead blossomed into a queen
i poured my heart all all over the city
but died never truly seen
i let my hair down when the lights dim
they threw me in the deep end but i couldn’t swim
can the angels lost
ever be free?
to the people i cry for
the people i lie for
and anyone with a brain
i promise i won’t grow old and insane
to the people i come to
the people i’m numb to
i won’t succumb to making it all about you
and live in chapter two
dramatizing the storyline, that’s just what i do
can the angels lost
ever be free?
