Your Fall From Grace

You've got a bewildered look in your eyes
Don't know whether I should laugh or cry
So serene but at the same time you look crazed
Like an angel that fell from grace.

I remember the times when you were still innocent
Unspoiled and pure without this torment
Looking at you now is a contradiction
I still see the good through this veil of addiction.

This evil is keeping you at arms length
You cannot resist, you haven't got the strength
You seem peaceful, yet in your case
You're like an angel that fell from grace.

I remember the times when you were still innocent
Unspoiled and pure without this torment
Looking at you now is a contradiction
I still see the good through this veil of addiction.

Your dependency led you to hell
In this misery you now dwell
Your beauty faded away
Your colourful eyes turned to grey
An angel looking like a ghost
The path to redemption now closed.

Your addiction only causes harm
When you stick that needle into your arm
Your family also struck with hurt
You were their angel since your birth
This innocence they can't recall
Since you decided to take this fall
Into misery and substance abuse
Leaving everyone mixed-up and confused.

You've got a bewildered look in your eyes
Don't know whether I should laugh or cry
So serene but at the same time you look crazed
Like an angel that fell from grace.
