Shelter My Eyes (Angel of Sadness)

My heart don’t want to beat for me today Arguments and bouts We done drifted a good distance apart anyways The measurement Only teases as we wonder where the pleasure went I’d hold my head, but she don’t want me here no more I’m looking at heaven But there is no happiness behind them doors Momma say there’s a better man in change I’m going to be the same So there ain’t much this letter can change I’m dying, bad thoughts seizing my brain Smiles teasing my pain And my heart is crying How could I not want to think of those tender moments again Childhood memories, I don’t even know where to begin Foster homes and social workers Lost my temper, but how could my vocals hurt her I apologized; I even reached out and gripped your hand Tipped you well Hoping that it would make it easier for you to understand Besides I died Laid in my casket and sheltered my eyes As my enemies cried I took one from the heavens and died Laid in my casket and sheltered my eyes I swear my enemies cried As if they cared that I died
