What I Saw

May 23, 2014

I saw the angel

And she looked me in the eye

I saw the angel

And slowly I began to cry

Oh god sent an angel

To repent me of my lies

Oh pretty angel

When will my soul begin to fly

How I long to fly

I saw the demons

Pouring hatred in my soul

I saw the demons

Taking my heart and leaving a hole

Oh satan sent a demon

And my loved ones paid the toll

Oh gruesome demon

Will you ever let me go

How I long to go

I saw a mirror

And my face was staring back

I saw a mirror

With a reflection broken and filled with cracks

Oh I had a mirror

And the truth it did not lack

Oh shattered mirror

I'll take myself down a new track

Because I'll never come back
