Songtexte Better Angels - Lark

There was I killing time
Fracturing space and light to see what had become of me
What it was, what it is, rocking chairs, cigarettes and raw TV
And a thousand million people clinging on to their lives

There was you
Where was I?
Am I gone?
Am I being left behind?

I went to find the better angels
They only shoot, they shoot at strangers
Aiming at my scars
An ancient beast, a lonely pharaoh
Steady bows and steady arrows
Aiming at the birds

Empty vows, lack of speech, distant eyes
And what else do you hide from me?
What's underneath?
I'm a fool, I'm a God
I'm a wreckage, I'm vision of the past
And the future has no rhythm, it is filled with lies

There was you
Where was I?
Am I gone?
Am I being left behind?

I went to find the better angels
They only shoot, they shoot at strangers
Aiming at my scars
An ancient beast, a lonely pharaoh
Steady bows and steady arrows
Aiming at the birds
Aiming at the birds

Holding on
There is nothing you can find that will bring you peace of mind
Everything is lost on you
And you refuse to let it go
Looking for a grip to hope
Longing for the savior's light

I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one

I went to find the better angels
They only shoot, they shoot at strangers
Aiming at my scars
An ancient beast, a lonely pharaoh
Steady bows and steady arrows
Aiming at the birds
Aiming at the birds
Aiming at the birds

There was I killing time
Fracturing space and light to see what had become of me
