Fly Angel Fly

verse I
The arch angel spreads his wings, and takes flight into the virgin skies
breaking down sound barriers of burning lies
3 decades of living in an escapade
half mask half face nights like a masquerade
feared the mirror, hated my reflection
self-inflicted pain within my thoughts in all directions
years passed as the scars healed well
bitter outlooks faded away from the living hell
such a travesty family saw tragedy
insomnia, followed by the heart beating rapidly
paintings on the wall were like a weather forcast
motivated until the caffine crashed
some remained quiet, some made riots
some consumed constantly while some were on a diet
violence, dissapates after the thunderstorm
roses from the concrete, fingers pricked by the thorns

chorus
fly angel flyyyyyy get away
fly angel flyyyyyy fly away
fly angel flyyyyyy get away
fly angel flyyyyyy fly awayyyyyy

verse II
some nights paranoid, by suspects that are stalking me
trapped in a box pantomiming like a jabbawockee
the boombox fighting to be amplified
a poet on cruise control driving on a lonely night
chasing dreams in dead time with dopefiends
directing my own scenes play it on the big screens
screaming up on top of a mountain
sonically leading the youth to jump into the fountain
evil lurking behind every picture
a bullet proof vest complimented by shots of liquor
not everybody knows their father
a soul surfer armed with a gun and holy water
flirting with the thought of multiple magazines
sex, drugs, rock & roll, and low self-esteem
many memories tainted quite eerie
the next chapter in many books I see clearly

chorus (see above, repeat)

verse III
some days half awake with many things on the agenda
searching for the truth in a world full of pretenders
numb, drunk, calm, intoxicated
tired of being dumb my mind elevated
never well rested, something still missing
go getters and no betters all co-existing
letting go the old friends and non-believers
growing my soul escapes from the freezer
there's no deadline on this timeline
taking a random ride on cable car lines
dopelines, combined with white wine
calling it what you want, I'm calling it more refined
sadly some things still unanswered
nothings gonna happen if you don't take chances
for my family and friends wipe the tears away
hold your drinks up and toast cheers everyday

chorus (see above, repeat)
