The Angel in Black
Time is ticking away
I don't have much left to act
So I get out of bed and put on a smile
Because if I give in, then all is lost
Repeating every second, every minute of my life
Only to fail in my coveted goal each time
Each time I try to spiral upwards, I always fall again
Still I cannot give up, for my despair is my doom
There is not much hope left in this godforsaken world
Every inch that I can find is all I can do to keep my heart beating
Other's lives cross my paths and I try to guide the way
Only to watch in horror as they all die in vain
Every effort I have made has all been for naught
Yet I cannot dwell on it for long, for if I do, then all my hard work comes undone
I have to pretend that nothing is wrong when nothing is right
Nobody will get through the armor that I wear
If I keep on living, what is the goal I seek?
It all seems futile when I inevitably fail, and yet I keep going
You are the only light guiding me through this hell
Your bright smile makes a portal of love in the darkness
When I'm lost in this labyrinth and crying for your life
The thought of keeping you safe spurs me on
For I know I must protect my oblivious angel from the truth
If you know and if you choose what I fear you will, all will end in devastation
Everything I do for you is guiding both of us to our doom
But if I give up, I will die and so will you
And that is something I can never let happen
When I'm lost in this labyrinth, you take me back home
When my pain overwhelms me, your happiness is the balm that saves me
When I feel I'm alone, I think of you and the world is brighter
So I keep fighting on even though I know it's useless
Each day is the same, just another pattern in an endless series
But each day is another chance to save you from your fate
Your love is everything, even if you do not remember
That love is something I can't possibly live without
And so I endure another turn of this neverending cycle
Hoping that I can one day find the cycle that will bring you home.
