I bear the marks of the strong but not so proud
I've seen and done things, don't want anyone to know about
All the needles and miracles can't kill away my shame
Nothin's left, when there's no one left to blame
Oh, Come down, Angel
No one can help me now
You sing so sweetly
With no one else around
Oh, Come Down, Angel
All these demons gather 'round
You're the only one I hear
Help me, I'm comin' down
I lose myself, each time more hypnotized
Found vindication in this lover's blameless eyes
Plunging in, the scarlet ocean, silence pounds
Black wave is risin' up
Close my eyes
I drown
Oh, Come down, Angel
No one can help me now
You sing so sweetly
With no one else around
Oh, Come Down, Angel
Faceless demons gather 'round
You're the only one I hear
Help me, I'm comin' down
Cold concrete digs hard against my skin
I'm all out of miracles
Please, Angel, take me in
I'm lyin' here sick
Think this time might be my last
Black curtain's closing in
I'm commin' down fast
Oh, Come down, Angel
No one can help me now
You sing so sweetly
With no one else around
Oh, Come Down, Angel
Faceless demons gather 'round
You're the only one I hear
Help me, I'm comin' down
Oh, Come down, Angel
No one can help me now
You sing so sweetly
With no one else around
Oh, Come Down, Angel
All these demons gather 'round
You're the only one I hear
Help me, I'm comin' down
