Suburban Angels

we wander the streets searching for a place to call home chaos and misunderstanding is our calling card your fears have become our realities the nightmare we once called home has burnt to the ground theres no turning back, we've gone to far our halos are rusted, our wings are burnt and blackened ash and desolate haze covers everything there's no saving us now... we are just your suburban angels the law isn't on our side it hasn't been for some time they say we are a menace to society, trying to live our lives drugs and violence is all we have in common, as it calms our souls we're not as bad as some, we're not sick in the head one more day goes by, we'll barely make it through gunshots and car alarms shatter the midnight silence our halos are rusted, our wings are burnt and blackened ash and desolate haze covers everything there's no saving us now... we are just your suburban angels we challenge the rich, we comfort the broken we've damned ourselves for we lack sanity they say we are a lost cause, failures by there standards fire burns our hearts and yet our hearts are cold we're hardened by life and darkened by sorrow we'll never be like them and that's the way it is we won't go without a fight, we won't just fade away we are the suburban angels our halos are rusted, our wings are burnt and blackened ash and desolate haze covers everything there's no saving us we are a distant memory fading over time but we will still just be the suburban angels
