Fallen Angels

 

I slipped away from myself today

And somewhere deep I heard her say

That angels fall from heaven more each day

 

Plummeting from starry skies

Like so many satellites

We take a breath and falling, close our eyes

 

And I can't sleep at all tonight

Somewhere I know things just can't be right

But I've never seen these days in black and white

 

Slam the door and then run away

I'll never see your face again

For now I'll live with that -- or so I'll say

 

Fallen angels on the floor

No longer in search of something more

Now lost in a world that they will never control

 

I stare down at their dying lights

And with terrible sadness realize

That I can see a piece of me within their eyes
