Angels Would Fall - Lyrics by Collective Soul


Lyrics
The rope that's wrapped around me

Is cutting through my skin

And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour

It's better that way

So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been


Angels never came down

There's no one here they want to hang around

But if they knew
If they knew you at all

Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall

I've crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I've dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death


So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin

I'll come by and see you again
I'll have to be a very good friend

If I whisper they will know
I'll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
