[Verse 1] She walked through the nights with a needle and a prayer Chasing a quiet that would never stay there The world became smaller, the light became thin She traded her future for the peace under skin She knew it was killing the girl she had been But the silence it offered felt safer than pain So she kept on returning, again and again To the only soft place she could still understand [Pre-Chorus] The angel was fading The darkness would cry She thought it was comfort But it was a lie [Chorus] An angel in darkness Falling so slow An angel in darkness Nowhere to go She reached for the silence It answered with chains An angel in darkness Learning her name [Verse 2] Then came the morning that tore her apart The shaking, the sickness, the hammering heart The sweat and the craving, the cold in her bones The hours that seemed like a lifetime alone She cursed every promise the poison had made She begged for the numbness that left her betrayed But somewhere beneath all the wreckage and fear A voice still remembered that she was still here [Pre-Chorus] The angel was breaking But refusing to die She crawled through the burning And opened her eyes [Chorus] An angel in darkness Falling so slow An angel in darkness Nowhere to go She reached for the silence It answered with chains An angel in darkness Learning her name [Bridge] One day at a time One breath, then the next She gathered the pieces And carried the rest No halo, no glory Just surviving the night An angel in darkness Learning the light [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] An angel in darkness Rising so slow An angel in darkness Starting to know She reached for the quiet But chose her own name An angel in darkness Walking through flame [Outro] Still walking… Still walking…
