Angel Tongue

from Fantasy EP by Time Baby

lyrics

I’ll be awake for days
Trying to sort through this maze
Of glitches and unfiltered lines
An empire in decline
On the last day that we kissed
This age finally came to an end
Prudently I held my tongue
Though, to be fair, you helped me along

But I’ll never take back
All the love that I gave
Laughing ‘round words
You’d miscalculate
Call me a slut
But never a thief
Don’t say life’s too short
When you mean love’s too brief

I'll lie awake tonight
Because your sadness brings me such delight
An angel's tongue has to speak
The most beautiful blasphemies

And if you think I fear flames
And revenge in his name
I'm sorry to say
That your faith is misplaced
Put me on a cross
And you've already lost
I know how you revel in guilt

Atonement is only a way
To make an innocent pay
For the fun that you now regret
But wish that you hadn't had yet
So bring out your tortures and charms
Your holy books and your arms
Kill all the Buddhas tonight
Show me your beautiful light

But I’ll never take back
All the love that I gave
Laughing ‘round words
You’d miscalculate
Call me a slut
But never a thief
Don’t say life’s too short
When you mean love’s too brief

An angel's tongue has to speak
The most beautiful blasphemies
Men still can't tell love from war
And that's why your love is a bore
