SELFISH ANGELS EP
LYRICS
Got dizzy as an outlaw
Couldn’t be a whore
Too busy gambling
On things I can’t afford
My senses are distorted
Emotions are a chore
The situations never
What I’m looking for
Victimized and paralyzed
See yourself through others eyes
You never know exactly what you’ll find
It’s story time now close your eyes
And let the words just fall
After all is said and done
The story hits a wall
It’s glory time now close your eyes
The crowd shouts one for all
Just promise me you’ll stick around
When the story hits the wall
It’s story time now close your eyes
And let the cards just fall
After all is said and done the story hits the wall
It’s glory time now close your eyes
The crowd shouts one for all
Promise us you’ll stick around
When the story hits the wall
This can of worms is now expired
For every victim, child or liar
The past is gone for worse or better
Long lost memories, shredded letters
Our hands of binary forgot where they have been
So long they exited the universe
An evolution from skin to mechanism
And I ask have we, have we been here before?
This can of worms will not expire
For any victim, child or liar
The past lives on for worse or better
Each moment now will last forever
Our hands of binary forgot where they have been
So long they exited the universe
An evolution from skin to mechanism
And I ask have we, have we been here before?
(x2)
Our hands of binary forgot where they have been
So long they’ve exited the universe
An evolution from skin to mechanism
And I ask have we, have we been here before?
Have we been here before?
This can of worms will not expire (repeat)
I am a shadowed man
Take me as I am and tell me everywhere I’m supposed to go
And this is not my plan
This is not my vision cause the mirror always lets me know
So what’s it matter then?
I got everything I wanted, I’m a lucky little peasant I know
If I complain again
The boat will sail without me, I can drop my bucket in the road
Be a failure as a one man show
Forever you’ll endeavor
Somebody else’s dreams
Still soldier, luck is on ya
Shadowed man you’re never gonna be free
Your guys are falling all over the place
And you eat your weight in pain
You got everything you have ever dreamed of yet still you find ways to complain
Forever you’ll endeavor
Everything they want you to be
Stand down now, keep in your sound
Shadowed man you’re never gonna be free
Shadowed man you’re never gonna be free
Shadowed man you’re always gonna be free
We don’t mind it in the shadows
Mind your business, use some self control
Self control, self control
Forever you’ll endeavor
Somebody else’s dreams
Stand down now, keep in your sound
Shadowed man you’re never gonna be free
Shadowed man you’re never gonna be free
Shadowed man you’re always gonna be free
We weren’t ready for these changes
Our backs against the wall
In the midst of all the danger
It’s illogical
We can’t stop angels
They do what they want
Damn these decisions
We’ll be alright
We despise the word famous
It’s not our lives at all
No one’s ever there to save us
Or to break our fall
We are responsible
We’ll be alright
No one stops Angels
They do what they want
All these symbols that we see
Tell us what to believe
The new we, the conceived
Oh on a dreamy afternoon
We anticipate the moon
The new we, the conceived
It seems so sudden but we’ll make it
Let’s have faith in life
Our first angel never leaves us
He’s here tonight
All these symbols that we see
Tell us what to believe
The new we, the conceived
Oh on a dreamy afternoon
We anticipate the moon
The new we, the conceived
When new life calls all eyes above
No darkness falls, new light is born
All these symbols that we see
Tell us what to believe
The new we, the conceived
Oh on a dreamy afternoon
We anticipate the moon
The new we, the conceived
All these symbols that we see
Tell us what to believe
The new we, the conceived
On on a dreamy afternoon
We can see it’s coming soon
The new we
Scream with force and find another hollow place
Dreams of more to find the perfect holiday
Wasted before, it never knew the way
Mind is to melt, visions go astray
We’re so ready,
Goddamn ready
We are the breeze that blows through the hills
These are the dreams that carry us through
Time is not of any concern
Live to love, embrace the burn
We are the breeze that blows through the hills
These are the dreams that carry us through
We will all follow needs to the end
We will all need what carries the wind
We are the breeze that blows through the hills
These are the dreams that carry us through
We will all follow needs to the end
We will all need what carries the wind
We are the breeze that blows through the hills
These are the dreams that carry us through
Every time I looked at her
I felt a purpose in this world
Then I really understood what matters
Every time I’d see her face
Felt the warmth of her embrace
Then I really understood what matters
Every time I see his grin
Then I feel my life begin
Then I know that love is all that matters
You are not the first to feel this way
But you are the only ones who feel it like you do
You are not the first to love this way
But you are the only one who loves them like you do
You are not the first to feel this way
But you are the only ones who feel it like you do
You are not the first to love this way
But you are the only one who loves them like you do
