False Angel

You wore my name like glass

Held it up to the sun

I saw the cracks in your smile

Before the lie was done

You kissed like a warning sign

Soft hands, cold inside

Every word a painted face

Every touch a hide

Tell me, which one are you?

Which mask is true?

You keep changing in the room

Like I’m changing too

I can feel your shadow move

Under my skin

You pull the strings so gently

And call it love again

False angel, false angel

I know your face

False angel, false angel

You leave no trace

You say my name

Then you disappear

False angel, false angel

I see you clear

You made a home of my doubts

Fed them from your hand

Taught me to mistrust the mirror

Taught me how to stand

Now I wear my scars like keys

Locked but still alive

I was your perfect little secret

I was your alibi

Tell me, which one is real?

Which one is mine?

You can bend a room to kneel

But you can’t bind time

I can hear the truth come through

In the edge of your breath

You built your little heaven

Out of borrowed theft

False angel, false angel

I know your face

False angel, false angel

You leave no trace

You say my name

Then you disappear

False angel, false angel

I see you clear

Now the mirror gives me back

Something you never knew

A blade of light in my own eyes

A heart that won’t stay blue

Take your borrowed halo

Take your pretty script

I was made from broken pieces

Now I learn to grip

False angel, false angel

I know your face

False angel, false angel

You lose your place

You say my name

Then you disappear

False angel, false angel

I see you clear

False angel, false angel

I break the spell

False angel, false angel

Go haunt yourself
