Ashley River - Dream Angel Lyrics

You said I was the angel of your dreams
Until you called me the demon from your darkest nightmare

And maybe you were right
That I am an angel
But that didn't stop you from clipping my wings
So you could tighten your own strings

In the end you have your story
And I have mine
You named me a bad witch, spellcasting desire
But you couldn't even see
The curses you were choosing to conspire

You said my hurt was all in my head
Even though it was just a reflection of what you said
You were in love with the thrill of the mystic's mystery
But you fell on your own sword when you weren't good for me

An angel or a devil
Cut in two, only good or evil
How limiting for one who came from the skies
With holy blood
And crystal eyes

A voice like a siren that will haunt you sleep
A loaded memory you quietly keep
Because I was once an angel in your eden
Until I became your nightmare's demon

Like Lilith and Mary and the ones I sang to
Who were outcasted for more obedient damsels
Who wouldn't question their place below you
A perfect woman by man's example

You told me I belonged in the sun
But you still took me to the fog
How painful not to be seen
How devastating not to belong

Without wings
Without my voice
Without my crown
Or my choice

I descended into your devil's hands
To play the role of bad wife
Good girl
Sharp knife
Demon from your nightmare

Forgetting that I ever had wings to fly
