Send Me An Angel

[Verse 1]
Ash on the windowsill
Candles that never learned to burn
Maps on the bedroom wall
Of places I never seemed to earn
All of my failed attempts
Folded like letters I never sent
Talking to ceilings now
Praying to ghosts that never answer
[Chorus]
Send me an angel
To walk through the fire I made
To carry the weight and the shame that I hide
Send me an angel
To cut through this rusted chain
To open the sky in the storm of my mind
Send me an angel
Before I lose the light
[Verse 2]
Clock in a crooked frame
Trembling hands that skip a beat
Footsteps in empty halls
Echoing every old defeat
If there is more than this
More than the stories I tore apart
Draw me a brighter path
Write it in sparks across my heart
[Chorus]
Send me an angel
To walk through the fire I made
To carry the weight and the shame that I hide
Send me an angel
To cut through this rusted chain
To open the sky in the storm of my mind
Send me an angel
Before I lose the light
[Bridge]
If I fall
Will someone find me? (hey!)
If I break
Will someone stay?
If I drown inside this silence
Will you tear the dark away?
If you’re there beyond the thunder
Trace your mercy in the rain
Take this wreck I keep on driving
Turn collision into change
[Chorus]
Send me an angel
To walk through the fire I made
To carry the weight and the shame that I hide
Send me an angel
To cut through this rusted chain
To open the sky in the storm of my mind
Send me an angel
Cry your halo through the night
Send me an angel
Before I lose the light
