Angels Of the Past

Once again I’m on my knees
Still begging for mercy, please
I walked down this path before
Believe me, it made my feet sore
Trailed with hidden, dangerous glass
A token from my broken past

Rest me in the green pastures
Bring back to me all my laughter
Redraw the smile back on my face
Help me slow down my pace
Re-script my unforgettable disputes
Place me back on a different route

Give me wings to fly
Do what you can to help me get by
Re-establish my hope
Toss me down a rope
Pull me out of this hell
Nurse me back to life, make me well

Take away all my strife
Bring me back to life
Take me away from all the violence
Hold me here in gentle silence
Take me somewhere serene
Where everything's just how it seems

But please just don't take me home
Home is the place where I feel the most alone
