Lyrics
Verse 1 I stepped off the edge of the sky Wings scraped raw on the concrete skyline Golden thread frayed where the city bites I traded heaven’s quiet for your neon lights You were leaning against the broken wall Cigarette smoke curling where the shadows fall Eyes like storm water, heavy and unblessed I forgot every vow I ever confessed Pre-Chorus They said don’t touch — you’ll bleed the divine They said you’ll rot if you make this yours and mine But I felt your pulse hammer through the dark And I’d trade my halo just to bear your scar Chorus I’m an angel fallen down from grace Burning bright in your dirty, holy place You’re mortal dust, you’re fragile, you’re wild I’m losing my wings just to be your child Heaven’s cold and it’s far away I don’t care if I fade away Hold me close where the shadows twist Angel breath on your mortal lips Verse 2 My skin turns pale when the morning comes I can feel the earth pulling at my bones You laugh so loud it makes the angels wince You kiss my mouth and all my distance is rinsed You’ve got scars on your hands and a ghost in your head You love sharp things and you love them dead I gave you purity, I gave you fire Now I’m just a shadow with a hungry desire Pre-Chorus They called me back from the sky tonight Said love like this will eat the light But I’d rather burn out in your arms so tight Than shine forever in empty light Chorus I’m an angel fallen down from grace Burning bright in your dirty, holy place You’re mortal dust, you’re fragile, you’re wild I’m losing my wings just to be your child Heaven’s cold and it’s far away I don’t care if I fade away Hold me close where the shadows twist Angel breath on your mortal lips Bridge My feathers turn to ash on your floor I can’t go back, I don’t want it anymore You’ll wither, you’ll fade, you’ll slip away I’ll be left here broken to face the day But tonight you’re warm and you’re mine to hold Tonight the story doesn’t have to be told Outro Just an angel fallen low Chasing a heartbeat I can’t own Just a kiss, just a spark, just a lie I’d die for you — I’d die, I’d die… (fades out on a single, fragile synth note)
