[Verse 1]
Got scars on my knuckles
Halo in my closet at home
Laugh when it gets rougher
Sharpen every joke like a stone
I’ve walked through the fire
Brought back a laugh and a bruise
Say my people’s names
That’s a line you don’t wanna lose
[Chorus]
I’m a savage angel
Sweet heart
Sharp edge
I’ll pray for peace
With my feet on the ledge
Got wings and warpaint
For the ones I love
I’ll turn to a storm
If you touch my blood
Savage angel
Savage angel
[Verse 2]
Smile like a secret
Eyes say I’ve seen too much
I keep it all light
Till you push the ones that I trust
I’ll stand in the doorway
Bare hands
Bare teeth
Bare soul
Love is my weakness
Love is what makes me this bold
[Chorus]
I’m a savage angel
Sweet heart
Sharp edge
I’ll pray for peace
With my feet on the ledge
Got wings and warpaint
For the ones I love
I’ll turn to a storm
If you touch my blood
Savage angel
Savage angel
[Bridge]
You want quiet?
I’ll be quiet
Till you cross that line (hey!)
Every bruise I ever took
Just rewrote how I fight
I’m gentle
Till I’m not
I’m kind
Till you’re not kind
[Chorus]
I’m a savage angel
Sweet heart
Sharp edge
I’ll pray for peace
With my feet on the ledge
Got wings and warpaint
For the ones I love
I’ll turn to a storm
If you touch my blood
Savage angel
Savage angel (oh yeah)
Savage angel
For the ones I love
