Angel Inside

They call it family
But they’re just trying to use you
Living so happily
As if they won’t abuse you
As they drink to borrowed time
They commit some silent crime
bring a calamity
If they were to lose you
When everybody wants to be your friend
When you’re on top of it all
These smiling faces all pretend
Out from the streets they’ll crawl
To lock the angel inside their walls
Sinking in quicksand
They won’t let you say “no”
Clipping your wings and
Selling your halo
They say they want you to succeed
Cause you got something they need
The power they’re drinking
As long as you say so
