[ Featuring Sofiane Kasmi (contributor) ]
[Verse]
These wings were bound to burn
I never saw the smoke
Before the ashes rained on my parade
Every word that left your lips
Sounded like a prelude to goodbye
You showed up at my door
Holding his bouquet
Said you couldn't do this anymore
It was raining that day
Felt like the clouds cried with me
And now
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes
I still see the sunset
And the flames flicker and glow
As you burn my wings of gold
The weight of the coal
Won't leave me alone
I've tried everything I know
And now my eyes are black as coal
Black as coal
[Verse]
They say time will heal
But if I don't let it go
It can't take away this pain that I hold
The wings you broke
Were all I ever knew
And now
And when you took my gold
You took away my hope
And everything I thought I ever knew
All I have to show
Are wings that now are broke
And a heart that's black as coal
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes
I still see the sunset
And the flames flicker and glow
As you burn my wings of gold
The weight of the coal
Won't leave me alone
I've tried everything I know
And now my eyes are black as coal
Black as coal
When I close my eyes
I still see the sunset
And the flames flicker and glow
As you burn my wings of gold
The weight of the coal
Won't leave me alone
I've tried everything I know
And now my eyes are black as coal
Black as coal
