Better Angels

Tell me again you’re sick of it
Tell me again you’re scared of it all
You know it’s not the height
You’re just terrified to fall
Convince yourself you’re over it
Convince yourself it’s curtain call
Don’t try to pull away
You can’t run before you crawl
If you break before me
I swear that I will take the weight
Of your pain and worry
I’ll bring the light back to you
So lay down
Bury the lies they won’t disguise
Our flaws and regrets
We’re not so perfect
Told yourself you can’t go back
You told yourself you can’t go home
There’s nothing in the dark
You’re just scared to be alone
Promise me you’re done with this
Promise me you’re done with this game
Let go of the chains you hold
And the rest will fall away
If you break before me
I swear that I will take the weight
Of your pain and worry
I’ll bring the light back to you
So lay down
Bury the lies they won’t disguise
Our flaws and regrets
We’re not so perfect
We lose sight sometimes of what we are
Dragged down by heavy head and heart
The inner wars we wage
The subtle loss in faith
It’s a cage
Unlock the cage
If you break before me
I swear that I will take the weight
Of your pain and worry
I’ll bring the light back to you
So lay down
Bury the lies they won’t disguise
Our flaws and regrets
We’re not so perfect
