Not An Angel

by City Sleeps

/
1.
Hotel 00:58
This is the sound of the room at the hotel so many secrets you keep and you don't tell Jesus and Mary will cry with an angel There's not a place in between heaven and hell Listen to me now All the things I've done
2.
Prototype 03:16
I made her from pieces of stars the ones that fell when you shot through A sky that burned not to return No other element would do Her soul was grown in the bathroom her heart is just a red balloon I gave her lips from wild orchids when she came out of the cocoon Not the real thing I can barely see the sun now it’s blue I can barely see the sun because she kisses like a prototype I programmed her with eye color Majestic emerald green uploaded with your attitude She will do it like a machine But no matter how hard I've tried She never smiles unless she's high and just like you won't ever stop crying Please come back and rescue me from the machines I've been wandering while you do it with somebody else
3.
There's a girl with a lollipop on my mind When I get this high she's got the flavor Jesus Christ is a mannequin in real life Down on Wilshire he does me favors Some loracets are white And some are blue The colors are all dying it's true Just another day without you yeah And I call your phone to hear you say hello That dirty voice inside a number And I'm always trying to get in your window Just like the lightning and the thunder Wanna use you like a drug Don’t wanna live inside this world without your love
4.
Not An Angel 03:14
I will be waiting right here only to roam When the bells chime like there is no tomorrow (and you're gonna take me home) I'm never gonna ever gonna belong to another no Leave me alone I am not an angel yet My candle shines at nighttime through the dawn But my darling you have fallen and don’t belong (and I can't carry on) my candle shines without a doubt but the wind in your wings blows it out and for my arms it is too late and your wings are gonna have to wai
5.
In walker's ridge love is not enough and time keeps ticking on without us hand in hand the gods will ignore confuse the rain here comes your face a strange one with familiar traces silver tears you left there before now will you fall into a different world where I'd be the only one I've only missed you picked my locks and tried to guess who's come around and who has stayed and I've tried to stay alive I cry myself to sleep every night dreaming to recapture the faces you made I've got two pills and the usual drink and I'll be the only one you drive me crazy you know that you do it hurts that you won't be mine in walker's ridge time is not enough to burn the houses down looking up eye to eye the gods will recognize you left a trail of tears behind and all the streets end up intertwined so walker's ridge is where I will die
6.
Daddy's girl is kissing herself in the mirror supposed to be tucked into bed just fine that was before the decision to dial my number I said pick up the phone and call sometime In your white room those windows are the way to the dimensional I can show you where it goes princess Look at those crazy eyes It's Monday but this is no ordinary high Cuz even when it's wrong its right It's Monday but this is no ordinary high As we ride and ride it will only get clearer Daddy's girl isn't coming home tonight But your morphine lips are gonna be a painkiller I said this is no ordinary high Accidental overdose and it feels like it's intentional I can show you how it goes princess Daddy will be worried he locks up his baby dolls Daddy will be worried from the window she will fall
7.
The shadows are alive without you They're in my heart you broke into I went down to my knees for you and tried to make believe And you can't say that it's not true woa I'm coming to get you baby I can't make you love me No I can't make you stay Low is far above me When I let you run away Remember life is almost over Even sheltered halls will flood with rain I hope the whites and greens and silver sheets and diamond rings Will be enough to ease your pain woa And I can't make you love me
8.
Andrea 03:16
You make me want to die if looks could kill then you'd be a murderer Dying in the hills of Hollywood I found out that you got lost with her Tell her to call me yeah One more time The night is closing in Andrea you came and stole my girl With just a kiss Are you gonna save her from the world But you kissed her lips Andrea you come on Like a machine Andrea the night is closing in Don't you know what I mean? Living my days in the future You came in and had a baby Entertaining this sensation Andrea you took my girl from me If looks If looks could kill you'd be a murderer
9.
Bones 03:41
They talked about it like you were a piece of cake One that tasted just like a sugar snowflake (they would beg for their lives) Still all their parts would break See my own reflection On your tongue From this kiss there is no where to run Bones The boys all thought they were to tough to get hurt Bones Now we all cry like little girls So now I guess it's my turn to get butterflies When you smile and unlike them I will realize (this bedroom is a graveyard) With mirrors in the sky You were gonna hurt me so bad tonight From this kiss there is nowhere to hide Bones Under your bed Then the boys can rest
10.
Be a Man 03:40
And so she dances in your crystal ball The ballerina of the baby dolls Under a spell you only call her name Only her answer can undo your pain Her swirling hand is like a magic wand Its gonna hurt this time the fairy dust is gone Be a man Don’t let her do that to you She's a bad girl gets to cry all day The darkness is the only place that she’ll play The broken veins from all your wounds are raw You're not the only boy that waits for her call Oh woa She's on the dark side Oh woa And it will neutralize
11.
Your heart is tired and I feel it Your hand is letting go of mine The night is falling and it's stealing The last of our little light this time In the arms of eternity Twilight finds you in my arms the morning finds you gone We gotta dream forever We gotta pretend we're still in love I wouldn't dare try to wake you Sleep with me you're dreaming of When newborn rays of sun Dare to shine through the shades Cold virgin air is just all that remains Hear my call Let darkness fall
