An Angel’s Wings to Cure Your Ailment

On a bright Monday morning when the sun comes out
You stare out your window and dream of more
If only you could fly away and sail on the clouds
And live your life never touching shore
You dream of sheep and horses and birds
And exiting nightmares as long as you can
But it seems each time that the little bird chirps
You're only reminded of nightmares again
I can tell you're in need, so I'll lend you a hand
Nobody else wants to live what you've lived
I can take you to foreign lands
You have no idea what I'm willing to give
Yes, I know, work is getting you down
I know you'd thought you'd be with the greats
But hey, I get it, I figured it out
I swear I'll do whatever it takes

I'm the dream that you thought that you wanted
But never knew how far it could go
Your head is high, but your house is haunted
Well, that's okay, I already know
The only price that you'll need to pay
I assure you is nothing that you can't do
Come down to the basement, or stay this way
But in my place, you have to give because

You cannot fix yourself without wanting to
You cannot test your heath without going through
The standard procedural steps, I swear it's gonna help
You cannot fix yourself

Does the bed feel nice? Metal cold as ice
Hammer nails in your wrists just to keep you down
As the scalpel peels at your chest and your ears
Pathetically slow, blood falls to the ground
Bite down at your appendage to hold
The knife grinds against your wings
I'll make you Icarus, I'll make you Icarus
I'll make you Icarus, I'll make you Icarus

So, say your prayers!
Say your prayers!
Say your prayers!
Say your prayers!

Adrenaline pumps through your veins
I'll happily pump some more
Such innocence, on the brink of death
Pull the switch and shock out the horror
I peel away the skin that you're living in
Eyes peel back, fuck, you went out
I wake you back up so you can watch the sawblade
Slowly drop to your mouth

Say your prayers! (not goin' to sleep tonight)
Say your prayers! (you'll make a fine addition)
Say your prayers! (it's nothing personal, really)
Say your prayers! (you merely fit the description)
I know you may be a little bit confused, but
It's just a game I play with mother nature, I'm inside her
You know I find it funny, people will do what I say
I guess I'm just clever like that

On a bright Monday morning when the sun came out
Your life could not have looked worse
You wanted to fly away and sail on the clouds
But you knew that you never would
Just think, maybe in a couple of days
You would've walked down to your mailbox and saw
An intivation to perform with the greats
You never know, but you are where you are
And you cannot fix yourself without wanting to
You cannot test your heath without going through
The standard procedural steps, I swear it's gonna help
Too late now!
Say your prayers!

You wanna be a dancer? A strong romancer?
Well come along and play Simon Says
You wanna be an artist? Are you retarded?
Just come along and play Simon Says
I got a little passion, you may have noticed
I'll let you figure out what it is
I know you were confident and friendly
That's why I have to reign that in

So let your wings fall
And die my hands
Let your wings rip
And die by my hands

Let your wings fall!
And die my hands!
Let your wings rip!
And die by my hands!
Let your wings fall!
And die my hands!
Let your wings bleed!
And die by my syringe!
