Iron Jawed Angel - Rotting Out

They make me feel useless

I see her busted open on the kitchen floor

She kisses my tears and tells me not to worry anymore

What do you know about crying to the sky?

I watched her whole life pour right out of her eyes

Too many times I’ve seen her cry herself to sleep

I would’ve taken every hit if it meant she slept in peace

«My iron jawed angel don’t you cry»

The spirit of hope is leaving.

(It's leaving)

I can’t believe it.

(I hate this feeling)

She hides the fact she’s bleeding.

(She's bleeding)

I can’t believe it.

(I hate this feeling)

Now I’m asking why?

Spirit unmatched

Her face was black and blue but she’s still so beautiful

She holds me

We dance

A sea of painful memories starts to pour right out of me

I’d kill the world, I’d kill the gods just to bring her peace but when I hear

her lovely

Voice scream it brings me to my knees

I melted in her arms as she kissed me goodnight

I whispered back, «one day I’ll make this right.»

All hope is leaving.

(It's leaving)

I can’t believe it.

(I hate this feeling)

She hides the fact she’s bleeding.

(She's bleeding)

I can’t believe it.

(I hate this feeling)

Now I’m asking why?

Old man this one’s to you: you fucking coward you know you don’t

Deserve her, because in the end I know you’ll just desert her

The way you struck her just showed how much you loved her

A simple «sorry» just can’t replace what you took from her
