No one feels the same about you Lessons from one life and all betrayals With no more tears to erase The mess and the stains inside my veins My soul flies far away The scream of an angel My soul flies away The scream of an angel Stuck on my heart It's hard to believe my angel died Maybe one day I'll learn to cry I'm trying to breathe, I'm paralyzed The scream of an angel My soul flies away The scream of an angel Stuck on my heart When the shade comes to get you To grab your soul taking control It's time to hear the scream of an angel
