Angel

He come shome to me after a hard night's workin.
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a burden.
Startles, wakes up, like he don't know me.
Cocks back his fist like he's gonna slug me.
Like who are you anyway, and what are you doing to me?
He's an angel but he can't see it.
He's got wings he can't feel.
He's an angel but he can't see it.
But he's flying above me everyday.
Everyday of my life.
Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them.
He carries the chains of a million decisions.
That weren't even his to begin with anyway.
But he carries them anyway, he carries them all.
All the people around him
Never even notice that he's very very tired.
