Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand

Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?

I guess there might not be too many

Who would stand beside you now

Where'd you come from? Where am I going?

Why'd you leave me till I'm only good for

[Verse 2]

Waiting for you

All my sins

I said that I would pay for them if I could

Come back to you

All my innocence is wasted on

The dead and dreaming

[Verse 3]

Every night these silhouettes appear above my head

Little angels of the silences that climb onto my bed and whisper

Every time I fall asleep, every time I dream

Did you come? Would you lie?

Why'd you leave us 'till we're only good for

[Verse 4]

Waiting for you

All my sins

I said that I would pay for them if I could

Come back to you

All my innocence is wasted on

The dead and dreaming

[Verse 5]

I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed

Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book

And suck my blood, break my nerve, offer me their arms

Well, I will not be an enemy of anything, I'll only stand here

[Verse 6]

Waiting for you

All my sins

I said that I would pay for them if I could

Come back to you

All my innocence is wasted on

The dead and dreaming

[Verse 7]

I'm gone

I'm gone

I believe today I'm gone

I'm gone

I'm gone

Take me away, I'm gone

I'm gone

I'm gone

I believe today

I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm gone
