"angel" lyrics

You stare at me with glassy eyes
Shapeless and grey in the fog
Nothing remains

I can't bear to see you die

I scream your name to the angels
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

Blown away like leaves in the wind

You don't know my face
Look through me, look through me
You don't know my name
Look through me
You forgot my face
Look through me, look through me
You don't know me anymore

You stare back lifelessly through my eyes in the dark

No life is fit to end here
You will never escape it
Fall apart piece by piece
You will never escape it
And you're never coming back

As the curtain comes to a close
Your angel will lay you to rest
Let go

I am ashamed
I couldn't save you
From a fate so cruel

We can't help but ask why
Why couldn't God have done something about this?
