Angel Inside

They call it family But they’re just trying to use you Living so happily As if they won’t abuse you As they drink to borrowed time They commit some silent crime bring a calamity If they were to lose you -When everybody wants to be your friend When you’re on top of it all These smiling faces all pretend Out from the streets they’ll crawl To lock the angel inside their walls -Sinking in quicksand They won’t let you say “no” Clipping your wings and Selling your halo They say they want you to succeed Cause you got something they need The power they’re drinking As long as you say so -When everybody wants to be your friend When you’re on top of it all These smiling faces all pretend Out from the streets they’ll crawl To lock the angel inside their walls
