Angels

I see the shell of an angel and the heart of a prisoner
You're too good for the ball and chain you bear
I'll try to shave you of your tethers though I know you could do this
I mean, if you survived the fall from heaven, it should be a breeze

Don't hold onto what hurts
I know you've loved me before
Let go of what holds you back
Please give me another chance

I wonder where you fly to when the sun goes down
I ponder where you put your head when your eyelids fall
Can you lift off the ground at all with this?
With all the weight you've got pulling you down?

Let go of what holds you back
I want to make you so very happy
Don't hold onto what hurts
And I was wondering if it could be with me

It may seem odd to ask an angel settle for a mortal
But I guess it's a step up from settling for a demon
I hope you think so cuz I don't have too much time
Unlike angels, I've got an hourglass counting my time

Don't hold onto what hurts
Spread your wings out
Let go of what holds you back
And just fly free
