I'd like to make you think
And I do love to make you think
That I am a saint among men
A will of iron from beginning to end
I would like to make you think
It comes easy to me
That I am never on the brink
Of losing sanity
I want you to think I wasn't torn
When she only wants the night
Nothing more
It was but a trifle to say no
A lonely bed easily kept so
It has never crossed my mind
That a drink or two would bury me behind
That a fight in a dim alley way
Wouldn't make me feel alive
Knuckles made for darker play
Wouldn't have a place to thrive
If I could be honest with myself
And I do hate to be honest with myself
I posses the soul of a saint
Good is all I wish to do
But my heart is filled with pain
Always a struggle to stay true
So if you are to know me
As I would like for you to
You will have to see
Behind everything I do
I am a demon of an angel
Hating but kind
Living life through the angle
Of a tortured mind
Though I can't say who will win
Or when the struggle will finally end
I can say I will fight this sin
Try to be something better than I've ever been
And I will remember you
In everything I do
Because the world deserves something better than this
This angel who fell
So save me the sweetest kiss
And I will make it through this hell
