where angels come from

there's this place covered in a dirty fragrance
where desolate thoughts would creep a certain resonance 
into his words like they mean something 
and could eventually fix a broken wing

torn to pieces, ripped apart
a last dance with death in the dark 
as the sweetest illusion of a friend
would haunt him to the bitter end

trashed in a corner tired of the waiting 
the neverending searching for a slight meaning 
something that's worth hanging on to
a lil bit more till the dusk of an other day comes through 
then he'd be safe again 
from others' lips curled in disdain 
from the useless expectations 
of decay and degradation 

torn to pieces, ripped apart
a last dance with death in the dark 
as the sweetest illusion of a friend
would haunt him to the bitter end

there's this place covered in dried blood 
full of dead dreams and lonesome thuds
of a deserted, abandoned heart 
and the wish to make them stop, make them stop

what a...


if I had a home I'd welcome you 
with arms wide open too
black opium in the air
and the scent of a maddening glare
you'll have a warm bed to play 
more reasons to stay 

if I had strength I'd hold you 
without any further ado
I'd be right there
fondling your hair 
caressing your breath
with the fumes of a cigarette 

if I had a voice I'd whisper you 
a lullaby fading into the blue
embracing your demons
swaddled in deceptions 
hush, hush, my baby, hush
there's no rush

if I had tears I'd cry with you
oceans of sadness anew
we'd write memories 
into soothing melodies 
one more sigh
and we're up high

if I had faith I'd believe you
I'd take your every word to be true
that pampering lies chime
like a nursery rhyme
but I'd be yours 
for better or worse 

if I had a soul I'd even love you 
stick to you like glue
I love you, sweets, and in a blink
of an eye you're tickled pink
so damn exhilarated 
cuz of an illusion we've created

I had once a dream to pursue 
to dance in the meadow rue
and you with me
endlessly free
no chains holding us back
from ruin and wrack

yet I am but a walking corpse
numb to your petty hopes 
dead to the world
so damn cold
