angel in my eyes

angel in my eyes
your lies whispered in dark corners
provide me with the means to move onwards

angel in my eyes
you tell me the opposite of truth
knowing i never cared
for what reality chose to accept
because you are
the only voice i can hear
no matter how quiet you are
how loud the world yells
you're whispers in the dark corners
let me move forward
to wherever you want me to go

let me wake up in your arms,
angel in my eyes,
come over and lie to me
so i can sleep comfortably
without you
i would see harsh reality
the pain of light
hurts like birth
i escape the womb
you've entrapped me in
with rubber-gloved hands
ripping open the world
and letting in
light
sound
where are your whispers?

angel in my eyes
when open
i see a harsh world
of shapes and angels
of pain and suffering
with fits of joy
sporadic and frightening

angel in my eyes
when closed
all i see is red
where are your dark corners?
where are your whispers?

angel in my eyes
hold me in your arms
lie to me
so i can sleep
comfortably
again...
