Benton Falls

it's come to this
i swear this time my heart won't miss
i've clenched these fists for far too long
a broken house with gates made from broken promises
but nobody's home
so here i sit
it's the light that wakes me
but the time that breaks me down
like water drops,
why won't this stop
dripping on my halo
these angel wings of mine
they haven't seen the light in weeks
let alone flight
(let alone flight)
it's the light that wakes
me but the time that breaks me down
like water drops,
why won't this stop
it's got me down
and who's gonna save me
from falling to the ground
you might as well finish me
grab with both hands
and rip out these wings
now watch me fall
