The Gift You Give

[IGuessItsOkay]

the time has come for sleep
but I won't sleep a wink
and neither will you if you have your way
your eyes will never open
your mouth will never shut
and everything I've ever hated will be confirmed tonight

an angel loses her wings
she steps onto the ground and tries to make it work
but her feet twist in confusion
and I'm sorry I can't help you but I told you all along that this would happen.

a hint over a phone line
a masked marrionette
and everything is coming out in tongues
my lips your face
a secret in a bottle
don't ask me to forgive the things that I cannot forget

an angel loses her wings
she steps onto the ground and tries to make it work
but her feet twist in confusion
and I'm sorry I can't help you but I told you all along that this would happen.

I hate the way you sound when you
can't hold your head above the ground
you're in your tomb now love it
You've always wanted to die so why can't
you just be happy with empty skies
and embrace the gift you give

(Criticize the hell out of this one. I want it to be good...oh yeah, and if any of you are from Seattle and need a singer...talk to me)

i think its pretty cool, a few things i would change is marionette, or however you spell it, for some reason it bothers me, it seems out of place and not needed, i think the chorus has a great meaning but if you could reword it to make it flow a little better, that would rock. i also really like the opening verse

she steps onto the ground and drops down to her knees
she is crying
and I'm sorry I can't help you but I told you that this would happen.

a hint over a phone line
a monologue of nonsense
and everything is coming out in tongues
my lips your face
a secret in a bottle
don't ask me to forgive the things that I cannot forget
