People aren't beautiful
We're ugly
With hideous intentions
Like insidious black monsters hiding our skin
Some monsters want to take that little girl
Others want to see ripples of carnage laid out in front of them
Some simply want to steal away things that don't belong to them
There are a few that are free from that murky black hole
They are like prey sensing predators
But always aware of the disease that some of us are.

The silence of the night
Encases you,
A dark, silky cocoon
That envelopes all
Feelings of ugliness
And insecurity,
You hang upside down,
Suspended in thought
As the respiration of nature
Breathes in the thick
Black air,
Then as the sun spills
Over the horizon
Like a volcano,
And the faint paint strokes
Of sunlight sets the cocoon
On fire,
All doubt melts away
And you realise
You are beautiful.
Wings spread wide,
A spectrum glimmering
Through each translucent
Fibre,
You take flight
And leave the remains
Of the shell you once were.

I'll write these words in the form of  memories,
It seems like the best thing to do,
So you can move on instead of me,
Because it looks like I'm the fool

I'll sing these words like a melody,
Like rhythm and blues,
So you can play them every day,
I don't mind being the muse

I'll tear these words down like concrete blocks,
To make room for more,
Memories that grow like forget-me-nots,
Outside of your door.

Tell her that you love her when you go,
Put it in the papers so that everybody knows,
Pretty she will feel when she's on your arm,
Calm her nerves when she's alone,
And keep her safe from harm,


Chorus
Don't you think she's such a keeper?
You should keep her,
Angelie you know he cares so open the door,
Don't you see she's scared to believe you?
Oh you need to,
Angelie he wants you back so don't cry any more

Verse Two
Angelie don't shut him out again,
Listen to his reasoning, he wants to be your friend,
Those photographs you left to burn in flames,
Is past the point of no return, it'll never be the same,

Chorus
Don't you think she's such a keeper?
You should keep her,
Angelie you know he cares so open the door,
Don't you see she's scared to believe you?
Oh you need to,
Angelie he wants you back so don't cry any more

Bridge
I wish you could stay strong,
I wish that you were wrong,
I wish that she could see,
That she meant everything to me,
Angelie

Chorus
Don't you think she's such a keeper?
You should keep her,
Angelie you know he cares so open the door,
Don't you see she's scared to believe you?
Oh you need to,
Angelie he wants you back so don't cry any more

And after she moved on,
He knew that she was gone,
He wanted to propose,
A ring that's made of rose gold,
Angelie you never gave the chance to say goodbye,
Another hopeless romance left to die
