So Kind To Me (Angel of Sadness)
Because you were so kind to me
For you I’ll play this melody
Strangle my thoughts with your sympathy
These wishes I demanded you be
As I reached for stars only I could see
Now your voice seems so muffled and unclear
How I selfishly made this choice in fear
I’ve placed my want on things I do not need
The sadness in my greed
This stranger I have become
But because you were so kind to me
I admit these trials in just of guilt
As your tears wash away my musk and filth
You witness me self destruct without dying
So disappointing to have a mission
And not accomplish your dreams
A peaceful gathering
In an abundance of our scenes
Because you were so kind to me
For you only I’ll play this melody
Only in time will I grow to apologize
Who do I think I am
Afraid that only in fear
You look me in my eyes
Now your pain has scared my knees
A day in a life lived in ease
Your every tear disguised as me
Because you were so kind to me
