[Verse 1]
I was born with a halo bent, black ring on my brow
Your twisted angel with the wings half-burned out
I keep the pain in a coat pocket, cold and loud
Walk through my own night like I owe it a crowd
Mama said “boy, don’t stare too long at the abyss”
But it looked like my name when it hissed like this
Every prayer I wrote came back with a tear in it
Every dream I touched got smoke in its fingertips
[Chorus]
I’m your twisted angel, I fall through the dark
I’m your twisted angel, I still leave a mark
Shadow on my shoulder, darkness in my chest
If heaven wants me back, it can come and collect
I’m your twisted angel, I fall through the dark
I’m your twisted angel, I still leave a mark
[Verse 2]
I been feeding on hurt like a dog on scraps
Smiling with the blood still warm in the cracks
My shadow got claws, it drags when I move
Got a moon-made blade in the back of my mood
I loved too hard, got left in the rain
Now I wear my scars like a chain on a chain
Everybody wants light till it burns in the eyes
Everybody wants truth till it comes with a bite
[Chorus]
I’m your twisted angel, I fall through the dark
I’m your twisted angel, I still leave a mark
Shadow on my shoulder, darkness in my chest
If heaven wants me back, it can come and collect
I’m your twisted angel, I fall through the dark
I’m your twisted angel, I still leave a mark
[Bridge]
[Half-time, voices cracked and stacked]
If I got wings, they’re ragged, yeah
If I got hope, it’s stubborn, yeah
I made a home in the hollow place
Where the grief and the fire both say my name
And if I rise, let the wounds still show
I’m not holy, but I’m not alone
[Chorus]
I’m your twisted angel, I fall through the dark
I’m your twisted angel, I still leave a mark
Shadow on my shoulder, darkness in my chest
If heaven wants me back, it can come and collect
I’m your twisted angel, I fall through the dark
I’m your twisted angel, I still leave a mark
