lyrics

When I had pictured my fate, it never looked like this.
Again, I see the lack of...
Am I seeing at all?

The stairs just keep going down to where they began.
Again, I feel the lack of...
Am I breathing at all?

Descend
Why do I go on?
Descend
I think I'm closer to it.
Descend
Why won't I turn back?
Descend
I think it's not too far away
too far
too far
I'm lost

Angel, Angel, Oh! Will you deliver me to the place where I can know safety?
Angel, Angel, if I ever needed you to be real would you be real for me?

Walls begin to fade
Decayed tears cannot fall into the blackness that never...
the formless void that never...
Has it ever been different than this?
I don't remember.
I can't remember.

That was not the void. The void is now.
I remember the gray reign of loneliness I once thought was pain now.
The void is not a place, the void is here.
I recall the notes I scrawled, tear stained, thoughts profane with fear now.

I thought I knew what Hell was.
Thought that torture was being alive.
I thought I knew what Hell was.
Thought that nothing could get worse.

No one can free you
None will come for you

I find myself in here because there's nothing else.
Only see my guilty past, an eternity to forgive.
I don't know how to let it all go.
Feel myself slipping away and I know my time is near.
The eternal now is dying more nobly than me.
I think I know what Nothing is.

Angel, Angel, have you always slithered so? Have you always been a centipede?

Angel, Angel. Oh, Will you deliver me to the place where I can know safety?
Angel, Angel, if I ever needed you to be real would you be real for me?
