Watching Angels Bleed

WATCHING ANGELS BLEED - Written by Carroll Bryant

Take it all away

I don't want to deal with it anymore

Give me something for this pain

It won't stop and I can't fight it

Love

It was all in a dream

In life

I used to believe

And it lived once upon a time 

In a house on a hill off a road I left behind

Too many things stood in my way of what I wanted to achieve 

Time that I could steal, beg for or borrow

And a price so out of my league 

But then I found my strength in a manner I thought was so real

I stood above the clouds in my mind 

And that was my only thrill

I lost my faith, my hopes and my dreams

Turned my back on everyone that meant anything to me

Now I sit here all alone in my own company

Lost in total darkness and watching angels bleed

Once I thought that intelligence existed in some way

In everyone

Later to realize it's wasted and neglected 

Taken for granted to the point that people are so dumb

Inside their vanity lives a secret shame

Numb to the feeling 

They don't even know themselves 

That their tears are white blood

And their ignorance is killing me

Caught up in the game, they don't realize

That their selfishness shows in their eyes 

And to fondle all the meaning of what the truth could mean to them

Is the knife they place into their own backs 

Close our minds and get distracted by some trivial 

And meaningless happenstance of chance known as fate 

I lost my faith, my hopes and my dreams

Turned my back on everyone that meant everything to me

Now I sit here by myself inside my own insanity 

Trapped in complete silence and watching angels bleed

How can I analyze what prosperity means

When I live in poverty 

How can I capitalize on the chances given me

When the world turns its back on me

And then I walk away from all that I ever did believe

Now I sit here with my doubts

And still I don't believe

I lost my faith, my hopes and my dreams

Turned my back on everyone that meant anything to me

Now I sit here all alone waiting for humanity

Blind without a reason and watching angels bleed

Living without leaving and ... watching angels bleed
