Angel of Darkness

Verse 1

Black feathers fall like rain on the rooftop

Midnight ritual I carved my name in the soot

She don't smile she just opens her mouth wide

And swallows every prayer I ever whispered at night

Six wings folded over my tombstone

Every promise she broke turned my skin to cold stone

I begged for mercy with my tongue on the altar

She gave me silence and a crown made of salt water

Pre-Chorus

I called her angel

She answered with static

I reached for heaven

Got burned in the attic

Chorus

Angel of darkness come take what's left of me

Every scream I swallow gets buried in the deep

She wrings out the sorrow like water from my veins

And leaves me with the sorry and the taste of the pain

Post-Chorus

Pain pain pain

Angel let me drown in the pain

Pain pain pain

Carve the sorry in my name

Verse 2

Hollow bones they rattle when I try to speak

She collects the wreckage of the ones that she keeps

I lit a dozen candles tried to find a way out

She blew them out one by one and laughed at the doubt

My shadow turned to armor made of rust and regret

Every door I opened was a wall I hadn't met

I wrote her name a thousand times on the bathroom tile

She read it back to me in a cemetery smile

Pre-Chorus

I called her angel

She answered with static

I reached for heaven

Got burned in the attic

Chorus

Angel of darkness come take what's left of me

Every scream I swallow gets buried in the deep

She wrings out the sorrow like water from my veins

And leaves me with the sorry and the taste of the pain

Post-Chorus

Pain pain pain

Angel let me drown in the pain

Pain pain pain

Carve the sorry in my name

Bridge

I heard her whispering through the floorboards at three

Telling me the only truth is what she takes from me

Crown of holy fire burning backwards in reverse

Every gift she gave me was a beautiful curse

She wore my grief like a necklace of teeth

And called it devotion

Put a halo of thorns round my throat

And called it emotion

Chorus

Angel of darkness come take what's left of me

Every scream I swallow gets buried in the deep

She wrings out the sorrow like water from my veins

And leaves me with the sorry and the taste of the pain

Post-Chorus

Pain pain pain

Angel let me drown in the pain

Pain pain pain

Carve the sorry in my name

Outro

The sorry in my name

The sorry in my name

She carved it deep

She carved it deep

Mm

The sorry in my name
