The angel closes her eyes
turns her back on the world
tears not worth crying
Child of the stars
makes her home in the void
the void’s at home in her
Pale drained grey eyes
Close in silent goodbye
to those unhearing
and to the unwaking
one last lullabye
as she walks away
from the world today
it just hurt too much to stay
and to watch them fall
and fall again
crawling when thy’re given wings
She’s seen a million smiles
light a million rooms
then shiver fall away
fall back to gloom
dust to dust ashes
of asbestos dreams
flameless phoenix
after all the joy
cause of all the pain
she walked away
from her heart that stayed
and we never caught on
that the one who held us had gone
just that it never rained again
