The Family God - Angels of Light

She waited right here for 25 years

With nothing to win she wasted her tears

She nailed shut the door

Spilled herself on the floor

She waited too long

Then she waited some more

Counting the hours

How much can you take

And what does she feel

When she finally breaks

And what was his name

Oh God he fucked like a prince

He bought her some gifts

And new pills to take

A Japanese sword

A German gun with a shine

A ring like the sun

And a box with gold lines

And a room with a bed

Some thin cigarettes

A window that stained

And an endless ache

That would never be

Could never be

Could never be

Could never be

Released

There are people like us

And we walk through this place

And we look just like you

But it’s you that we hate

With your struggles and joys

And your freedom to choose

And your freedom to choose

Your freedom to choose

Counting the time

Filling the glass

Counting our breath

Which one will come last

And what is this face

I don’t recognize

Who’s kissing those eyes

That watch as you cry

What have I done

I don’t care any more

What have I become

Who cares any more

Just give me some more

Give me some more

Just give me some more

Give me some more
