Mutual Fear (feat. Jon Mess)

The King and The Army That Stands Behind Him FT. Kyle Lucas

[INTRO – LOW, DISTORTED]
Another name on my tongue
Another empty space in my lungs
Another halo hit the ground tonight
Another star swallowed by the night

[VERSE 1]
I feel it in the silence when the room goes cold
Another story that’ll never be told
Another laugh that I’ll never hear
Another ghost that won’t leave me near
Everybody’s talking but no one listens
Feel the cracks in my hopes and wishes
You were breathing just yesterday
Now the world just pushed you away
No warning sign
No fucking bell
Just another angel ringing out of hell

[PRE-CHORUS]
Tell me why the good ones go
While the monsters run the fucking show
Tell me why love burns away
Why angels fucking die everyday

[CHORUS]
ANGELS DIE EVERY FUCKING DAY
HEARTS GET BROKEN, SOULS DECAY
WE SCREAM YOUR NAME INTO THE VOID
THIS WORLD IS SICK, THIS WORLD DESTROYS
ANGELS FALL WITH NO ONE THERE
JUST EMPTY CHAIRS AND FUCKING PRAYERS
I’D TRADE MY BREATH, I’D TRADE MY LIFE
JUST TO BRING YOU BACK TONIGHT

[VERSE 2]
Your picture still burns in my mind
A frozen moment lost in time
Your voice echoes off the walls
Now I’m just screaming down these halls
They say time heals the pain
But time just adds another chain
I carry you inside my chest
A permanent, bleeding mess
You didn’t deserve that end
You deserved a world that would bend
But instead it watched you fade
Another debt love never paid

[BREAKDOWN]
I’m not okay, I just exist
Another name on my clenched fist
Another memory carved in bone
Another reason to feel alone
If angels fall then what am I
Just something waiting next in line?
Or something cursed to stay behind
With all the bodies on my mind

[CHORUS]
ANGELS DIE EVERY FUCKING DAY
AND WE JUST WATCH THEM SLIP AWAY
CAN’T SAVE THEM, CAN’T TURN BACK TIME
JUST ANOTHER LOSS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
I FEEL YOU IN THE WIND AT NIGHT
A BROKEN WING WITHOUT A FLIGHT
THEY SAY YOU’RE AT PEACE BUT I CAN’T LIE
IT JUST FEELS LIKE YOU LET ME DIE

[BRIDGE]
If heaven’s real, it’s short on saints
Earth keeps robbing, no restraints
I’d start a war with God himself
To pull you back from that cold shelf
Because love doesn’t leave like this
Love doesn’t vanish into mist
You were more than a memory
Now you’re a scar inside of me

[FINAL CHORUS]
ANGELS DIE EVERYDAY
BUT I WILL FUCKING SAY YOUR NAME
UNTIL MY THROAT IS FILLED WITH BLOOD
UNTIL THIS WORLD UNDERSTANDS YOU WERE GOOD
YOU WERE LIGHT IN A WORLD SO BLACK
AND I’LL SCREAM UNTIL I CRACK
ANGELS DIE, BUT NOT IN VAIN
YOU STILL LIVE INSIDE MY PAIN

[OUTRO]
Another angel gone tonight…
And I’m still here…
Trying to survive the fight.
