Can you scream the words I could never hear?
Can you feel the silence begin to tear?But it just takes so much to make it real
That it hardly matters
But if you could see inside yourself
Your world would shatterMy mama taught me better than that
Don't play with angels
If my lost soul could be given back
It would be fatalCan you see a world you've never felt?
When you sleep the nightmare becomes yourselfBut it just takes so much to make you sick
When your heart's a bullet
But if you could fill some lead in me
You would pass through itMy Mama taught me better than that
Don't play with angels
If my lost soul could be given back
It would be fatalYour soul keeps lifting away
My world keeps turning
And it brings me down
Yeah, it brings me downOh, you're so afflicted
Your love keeps burning
But it brings me down
Yeah, it brings me downCan you scream the words I could never hear?
When you speak the silence begins to tearBut it just takes so much to make you sick
When your heart's a bullet
But if you could reach the edge in me
You won't break through itMy mama taught me better than that
Don't play with angels
If my lost soul could be given back
It would be fatal
