Angel

They say that all it takes is some medicine
The doctors come to help a hopeless scene
When everyone responds but no one has the answer
I count my hours left on their machines

Sometimes I don't know if I'm dreaming
All my wasted time, trouble sleeping in the night
And when I find a day to believe in
I'm sent crashing down, cold hospital ground

I try to keep my head up high
I look up to the midnight sky
I hear my heroes' words echoing

I'm holding on a winless fight
Wear optimism to disguise
The raging demons living underneath
There's no angels here in my town left for me

Numbers never lie, but don't speak truths either
I'm analytical, scan their charts just like a treasure map
And when I reach the end, it takes me further than I've ever been
But I knew it all along

They are there, undercover
When I'm down, quiet they hover
Contagious to the fears inside my mind
Multiply, divide and conquer,
Cut me up, nature's monster,
Walks me right up to the edge, sick parasite

I try to keep my head up high
I look up to the midnight sky
I hear my mother's words echoing

I'm holding on a winless fight
Wear optimism to disguise
The raging demons living underneath
There's no angels here in my town left for me

I'm cursing the sky
I'm blinding my eyes
I'm running in circles but I'm
Cornered everywhere

I'm hurting and fight
I let go and cry
It doesn't matter anymore

I try to keep my head up high
I slip under the ocean tide
The noise it grows so loud it's deafening

I thought my hope would stay alive
It's been so long can't recognize
The way I used to think and used to be
When there's no angels here in my town left for me
