Angel Eyes

by The Crooked East

/

about

A troubled young man, stuck in a spiral of depression and substance abuse, rejects help from an "angel" and accepts his fate as a casualty of his own misery.

lyrics

Angel eyes-
Angel, I don’t want you-
Comin’ here round midnight anymore

I know he tries
I know he tries to use you
Rig the game to even out the score

I’ve made my mind
I’ve made my mind in my time
Nothing his, now or ever more

I need to know right now
The where, the when, the how
I don’t need you anymore
I don’t want you at my door

Angel eyes,
I know you think I’m dyin’
But that thought’s far worse off than I am now

Angel eyes
Angel eyes, seduction
Ain’t emotional reduction here on earth

Lyin’ eyes,
Stuck between our fightin’
Leave us both and never to return

And I need to know right now
The why, the when, the how
I don’t need you anymore
I don’t want you at my door

Mine eyes have seen the coming and the glory of the lord
Mine eyes have seen the coming and the glory of the lord
Mine eyes have seen the coming and the glory of the lord
Mine eyes have seen the coming and the fury of the lord
