[INTRO — whispered / airy falsetto] I remember the sky… before they took my wings. They called me an angel… Now they call me a sin. [VERSE 1] I woke up in the city with the stars beneath my feet, black feathers on the pavement, blood running down the street. Heaven left me empty, so I learned to love the night, now every time I look above me I see a place I left behind. I used to sing with angels, now demons know my name. They threw me from the heavens just because I wouldn’t change. [PRE-CHORUS] I can still hear the choir when the midnight starts to fall. They think they broke me… But I don’t miss heaven at all. [CHORUS — huge melodic rock] I’M A FALLING ANGEL! WITH FIRE IN MY VEINS! THEY TOOK AWAY MY HALO, SO I MADE ONE FROM THE FLAMES! I’M FALLING! BUT I DON’T FEAR THE GROUND! IF HEAVEN WON’T ACCEPT ME, THEN I’LL BUILD MY OWN NOW! [VERSE 2 — dark R&B] Black wings underneath my coat, red moon shining through the smoke, she said, “Baby, what happened?” I said, “Heaven broke.” I don’t pray anymore, I don’t wait for signs. I’ve been walking through the darkness like the darkness was mine. Every scar became a secret, every tear became a blade. They wanted me to beg for mercy— I learned how to make them afraid. [PRE-CHORUS] Now I hear the angels calling, but I don’t answer when they call. They only wanted me when I was perfect… Now they want me when I’m gone. [CHORUS] I’M A FALLING ANGEL! WITH FIRE IN MY VEINS! THEY TOOK AWAY MY HALO, SO I MADE ONE FROM THE FLAMES! I’M FALLING! BUT I DON’T FEAR THE GROUND! IF HEAVEN WON’T ACCEPT ME, THEN I’LL BUILD MY OWN NOW! [BREAKDOWN — screamed] CUT MY WINGS! WATCH ME BLEED! I DON’T NEED WHAT I USED TO BE! HEAVEN TURNED ITS BACK ON ME— NOW WATCH WHAT I BECOME! [BRIDGE — soft / emotional falsetto] Maybe I wasn’t meant to fly forever. Maybe I was meant to fall. Maybe losing everything was the only way to find myself at all. So if you see me in the darkness… Don’t be afraid. I’m not the angel I was. I’m something they created. [FINAL CHORUS — massive] I’M A FALLING ANGEL! WITH FIRE IN MY VEINS! THEY TOOK AWAY MY HALO, SO I MADE ONE FROM THE FLAMES! I’M FALLING! BUT I DON’T FEAR THE GROUND! IF HEAVEN WON’T ACCEPT ME… THEN I’LL RULE THE UNDERGROUND! [OUTRO — whispered] I lost my wings… but I found my power.
