Contradiction

Sometimes I feel like the devil With Angel wings I migrate towards evil While flying over all the good things I was packaged and sealed very tightly When I was born Only to have flaws in my armour That were pre-existing and torn Maybe I represent Both good and bad Perhaps I could sell you happiness While wearing a suit made of sad I contradict everything in many ways I see clearly at night And dream during the day I'm held together in rubble By the debris from love and hate I'm the ugliest masterpiece ever made I'm the light That shines dark The one that never fades
