Just another tragic story; its just another chance to fail again
To break under this burden
The wolves keep closing in; ready to devour; keep quiet and just stay still
Feign submission just to make it through this
When safety fades away
She'll hold on, she's just like an Angel; they'll fix the ribbons in her hair
Smile on her face, but she's slowly drowning; and no one ever seems to care
Her beauty fades within this vicious masquerade
(Smiling)
While her heart shatters like porcelain
(Drowning)
What once was so pure has been tainted by
Endless delusions of grandeur
The crows can sense decay; they're circling the sky
They're closing in
But they will find no victim
She'll hold on, she's just like an Angel; they'll fix the ribbons in her hair
Smile on her face, but she's slowly drowning; and no one ever seems to care
Her beauty fades within this vicious masquerade
(Smiling)
While her heart shatters like porcelain
(Drowning)
She screams for God, but only demons seem to hear
She's so damn close, but she's just left waiting
Her skin has worn so thin
From the constant failure to be what they need
The gravity sets in
She lifts up her head as the shame gives way
More each day; she finds strength
As worry washes away
She rises from the flames
She sings so loud; that the angels can hear
She's not fading away
She sings so loud; that the angels can hear
She's not fading away
Let the world
She's not fading away
Disappear
She's not fading away
She's just so beautiful
There's no pain behind her eyes
