The Angel of Doubt

Lyrics

Lights off as ever the road to sleep
 Is closed for thought, you're welcome to visit me, babe
 In the meantime it'd be nice to see you
 But I know you've been trying to keep your demons at bay
 ♪
 Too late we can darken the darkest rooms
 To test your strength, you're so proud of the things you're not doing
 We've been through this, you say you won't do them
 Like you couldn't though we both know
 You've done them with me, babe
 Well regardless it's been nice to see you
 I know you've been trying to keep your demons at bay
 To keep us at bay
 To keep me in bay
 ♪
 Take me away darling family
 I feel like I'm losing a thread
 
 When I'm alone with my vanity
 I go back to striving after the wind
 'Til I could trade our happiness for a melody
 And someone to sing it with me
 We're like our lovers
 We love our children
 Nothing to see here
 Nothing to hear, listen
 We're just pretending
 We want more freedom
 Nothing to see here
 Nothing to hear, listen
 ♪
 When I first met you dear family
 I had so much time on my hands
 ♪
 No one to question my vanity
 Or keep me from striving after wind
 Everything was meaningless but these melodies
 That keep coming to me
 We like our lovers
 We love our children
 Nothing to see here
 Nothing to hear, listen
 We're just pretending
 We want more freedom
 Nothing to see here
 Nothing to hear, listen
 Nothing to hear, listen
 It's 4 a.m
 Our families are sleeping
 We're all alone
 Our demons are hissing
 "What if you're wrong?
 You might be wrong
 What if you're wrong?
 You might be"
 ♪
 What if you're wrong?
 You might be wrong
 What if you're wrong?
 You might be
 What if you're wrong?
 Is it all your fault?
 Has it been too long?
 Is this all for naught?
 Are you so far gone
 That you can't get caught?
 And what if you're wrong?
 'Cause you might be
 I know you think that you could keep your feelings in the dark
 Calling every heart a spade and every spade a heart
 Even as the dreams you've been burying alive
 Start to dig each other up in the dead at night
 Now they're marching from the cemetery to your bed
 I'm on your shoulder wanting you to come up for your head
 You're saying "get behind me, you're the devil's spawn"
 But listen to me, that wouldn't make me wrong
 Do you doubt me?
 ♪
 You doubt me
 Babe, I've been down this road a time or two before
 It's paved with intentions, every bit as good as yours
 It takes you away from what you wish you didn't want
 So it must be right, right? Ha!
 Why don't you ask your family why you're working like a dog
 Who thinks he's getting payed and credit at the butcher shop
 Or you could ask the queen of the ones who got away
 Who can't remember why she chose your rival by the way
 Maybe you've already dug yourself too deep a hole
 Mining for the pretty things that satisfy your soul
 A soul it sounds like I'll be getting for a song
 I hope you're ready, you better hope I'm wrong
 Yes, I might be
