Angels are crying, suspended in blue,

Burning like secrets the night never knew.

Turning to ashes beneath borrowed skies,

While broken-winged dreams keep falling from high.

Their souls come undone where the stars lose their flame.

Their voices grow distant like echoes of light,

And somehow, you’re the only one hearing tonight.

Glass after glass, breath in, breath out,

A breath for the sorrow, a breath for the sin.

Clawing at an edge suspended in air,

Convincing my heart that heaven is there.

Glasses on my face, with a smile held wide,

I put on my mask and keep the cracks inside.

No one could ever figure out what went wrong,

Or see how I’ve been breaking all along.

You swear that everything is still alright,

As if all your sorrow has faded with the night.
