With each raise of your fist
an angel is born
their soft kisses soothe her bruises
the wings shelter her from the harsh words
and the halo is offered to hide the tears
she slips deeper and deeper into
the belief that things will change
that you will change
she believes this angel can protect her
every time the alcohol touches your lips
but in the end she is the angel who now knows
just how impossible it is to escape the devil
