lyrics

Angel In A Box

This is where I found the angel created by desire
A dreadfully pale body soak in the water
And no one can shift their eyes

She opens her eyes and touches the glass
Reaches out to where I stand
She is longing for escape
Even freedom would take her life

Like a water tank full of nutrient
Like a freak show never reach the end
Like a canary locked in cage she says:
"You and I are the same kind of slave"

Like a butterfly to a fire pyre
Even if you know life is just a moment
So I see her singing in the night
Becoming ashes at sunrise

This is a failed experiment based on the drugs and pills
She has no sense of taste and no sense of pain
Only signal can reach her brain

She opens her eyes and touches the glass
Reaches out to where I stand
She is longing for escape
Even freedom would take her life

Like a water tank full of nutrient
Like a freak show never reach the end
Like a canary locked in cage she says:
"You and I are the same kind of slave"

Like a butterfly to a fire pyre
Even if you know life is just a moment
So I see her singing in the night
Becoming ashes at sunrise
