Bleeding For Others

My leather wings are tainted with blue opals of angels

Why must my heart hate my soul

And why must my soul fear my mind

I call to the devil and ask for the deepest desire

But I am dressed in shining armor that can only be pierced by those who I'm protecting

The foolish thought of a perfect world dances in my head with every smile I see

And I fail to realize the monster with the inability to quench lies within me

Why is it that I feel I must stand at hell's gates

Why is it that I feel I'm not allowed in heaven's

Why is the gray area turning more gray each day

Why is it that I feel my heartbeat go astray

Why do my tears come after the rain

Instead of during the pain

My leather wings drop down to my sides

But the blue opals still glow, being my guides

So Again I remember my purpose here

To only make those happy of who I hold dear
