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
