Angel Tears

Beneath all this hate, there’s a love to be found
A heart so heavy, you’d leave it on the ground
A hand that hurts is a hand that loves
And the one calls is the one that cares
And I know my heart is a lonely place to live
But everyday it gets colder, and there’s nothing left to give

But beneath the snow, there’s a ring of fire
The only movie that shows is burning with desire
The planets move, with an irrelevant twist
The oceans they turn and they spray their mist
My beating heart can be heard from far away
The momentary lapses of love as you sway
But then you promise nothing is ever free
You always swore to be by my side, even when our path is full of debris

But everything’s not so clear any more
The telephone calls have stopped and I don’t feel the floor
My head it hurts, with the sirens songs they sing
And my heart it stops, and then I finally felt the weight of the ring
The feeling of death, comes and manipulates

But now the drops fall, beating on the hood
I roll my window down and saw you understood
The angel’s tears fall for hours, but no body counts
The number of tears those poor fellas let amount

Beneath all this hate, there is a heart to love
Something someone once told me sticks in it all
The pain you receive from the thoughts you fear real
The pain of being left all alone start to tear at your heart
And you realize that you are never alone, as long as you are in love
And you get mesmerized by the steady beats of your blood

Under the hood, a generic engine heats up
As I look into your eyes, I could never speak up
I thought so hard, for a moment what to think
And as I stared into your eyes, I tried not to blink
My heart bleeds, and so does yours; anyone with heart ache can tell you that
But come into my life, and let me in yours
This love this heart, this pain, this strain, all could be yours…

The angels tears, fall from their eyes                                                                                     All the longer years, have fallen from our lives
The hatred bestowed, on your little heart
The angelic smile showed, when your laughter starts
The beautiful goddess, that stares into my eyes
The final moments, where I realize
This love is real, every moment of it zeal
The pain, hate, laughter, love, emotion, stars, rain, cries, eyes, cars, hearts, smiles, All the hours we have been together… it all makes me see
That this love we have is finally
Something to lean on
