lyrics

The Angel and the Haint

Where there’s perfection, there’s a stain
Where there’s a sinner, there’s a saint
And no, this isn’t a complaint
Is something that I notice when you’re silent, getting strange
Is something that I notice when my head gets rearranged

Where there’s inception, there is fate
Where there’s rejection, an embrace
And no, this isn’t what you think
Is something that I notice when you’re closer like a blade
Is something that I notice when my body’s feeling caged

Where there’s elation, there’s a fake
Where there’s an angel, there’s a haint
And no, that lion won’t be tamed
Is something that I notice when you wander out the frame
Is something that I notice when I’m feeling like a slave

Where there’s protection, there’s a switch
Where there’s obsession, there’s a witch
And no this isn’t a promise
Is something that I notice when the downs follow the bliss
Is something that I notice when the chamber meets the click


Where would you
Pray to?

The open sky that don’t ever look
back to you?
