lyrics

V1
I'm an angel, but broken and painfully soft-spoken
Aching with all motions, patient with God, coping
The hate in my brain's potent and waking my thoughts, floating
Away in the stars motioning for Vader to walk over
Closer, fall over, face has fashioned a mask
Every wave I rap is a sado-masochist act
Making Matthew get mad but erasing the lad's past
And painting a vast masterpiece hanging in matts lab
Rad...I'll use a metaphor and make a better story
Sad, cuz all the letters pouring wetting measures bore me
Mad, is what my mental force is getting towards, tormenting
Tasks have weathered, worn me, begging for a gasp, RAP
I've been battered and broken, I call 'em beats
Half of me is rapid approaching my last sleep
But the other half is hoping my habit can hold me
Whole intact, and go back to the old me, before me

[Chorus]
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever

V2
This audio it lifts me up to where I thought I'd go
With rock 'n' roll, I listen and bump it through all my obstacles
Vamanos, gotta get going, the hip-hop honor roll
Is popping full of comical nonsense, I'm bout to lock and load
...God I thought I was better, at least I used to be
Truthfully this music scene is brutal what it do to me
A frugal teen communicating fruitfully who grew to be
A stewing evil putrid beast who's spewing heat in tunes and speech
I can't stand what I've become, it's damn hellish
But every time a rhyme is belted I bellow angelic
I can't help it, swell up from this mellow man helpless
To relish in these feelings I've felt but I can't sell it
So to hell with it...but the music never left me
Never when I'm neck deep in regret did it ever rest asleep
Death, will it beget grief, severance or set me free?
Never will I ever be left leaping to bless Matisse

V3
Why can't I beat this? I cry on high as I'm shrieking
I'm dying quiet and meek in these tired rhymes that I'm speaking
I lie alive in a peacefully pious fire, I'm freaking out
Finding viable pieces and tryna finally reap what I dreamed
Deafening, never has anything felt so heavenly
Blessings, regret, and this hellish effigy are meant to be
Meant to bleed, broken and fleeting is every measure's beat
Let me be, forever this carries me til the death of me
