Spinning in a room with blacklights
Ignore all the neon highlights
Trying not to think about just
What it says about my love life
I see them when I close both my eyes
Burning shapes into my mind's eye
Cannot think of how to stop this
F*ck it, I'm still alone tonight
I am a revolving door
Ignored until necessary
Bolted to the ground I've become
A cynical atheist missionary
Nothing here to see
Move along
Nothing's what it seems
I'm back on my bullshit
And my schemes
To reinvent the wheel
With just a grindstone
Who to give the time of day to
Sick of hoping they can see through
I am looking for an angel
But he's never there
They're only paper wings
Only paper wings
Saints in typeface only
Pretty smile, but heart is empty
I just wanna feel valid
I'd do the same for you
If you could only see
Beyond arms' reach
Maybe that's all I need
How do I deserve
Somebody better than me
Who to give the time of day to
Sick of hoping they can see through
I am looking for an angel
But he's never there
They're only paper wings
Only paper wings
Who to give the time of day to
Sick of hoping they can see through
I am looking for an angel
But she's never there
It's only in my head
Only in my head
