Digital Daggers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ticking clocks, sun-gold
I can hear them turning round as I lay here on the ground
Racing heart, poison woods
Shattered dreams, nowhere to turn
I can feel the water fall from my eyes and down the walls
I don’t know if anyone can hear me…
Been looking for an angel, angel
To come save me from this hell
To come save me from myself
I’ve been looking for an angel,
Been looking for an angel, angel
To kill the aching in my heart
Don’t leave me lost here in the dark
City streets, thundering
Fuel the fire, and feed the pain
I just want to feel alive, light me up and burn the sky
Wandering, needing fire
From the ocean to the stars
Cigarettes and gasoline, only God knows where I’ve been
I don’t know if anyone can hear me…
I’ve been looking for an angel, angel
Been looking for an angel, angel
To come save me from this hell
To come save me from myself
I’ve been looking for an angel,
Been looking for an angel, angel
To kill the aching in my heart
Don’t leave me lost here in the dark
Won’t you tell me where you are
Won’t you tell me where you are
Won’t you tell me where you are
Don’t leave me waiting for too long
Won’t you tell me where you are
Won’t you tell me where you are
Don’t leave me waiting for too long
Don’t leave me waiting for too long
I’ve been looking for an angel, angel
Been looking for an angel, angel
To come save me from this hell…
I’ve been looking for an angel,
Been looking for an angel, angel
To kill the aching in my heart
Don’t leave me lost here in the dark
Won’t you tell me where you are,
Won’t you tell me where you are,
Don’t leave me waiting for too long
I’ve been looking for an angel, angel
Been looking for an angel, angel
To come save me from this hell…
