Angels can’t fly with broken wings
But my, oh my, hear them sing
Through lies and alibis
A sweet, sweet chorus of lullabies
Waiting on angels
To carry me home
Waiting on angels
Lay me at Heaven’s throne
Carry away this weary soul
To a place once foretold
Where Death’s sting has no hold
A home sweet home I will know
Waiting on angels
To carry me home
Waiting on angels
Lay me at Heaven’s throne
See Love’s last stand
Always strangers in a strange land
Waiting on angels
To carry me home
Waiting on angels
Lay me at heaven’s throne
Yeh, lay me at Heaven’s throne

Misery is a free, free spirit
She rides the wind
There’s no place she goes
That she’s never been
Company longs for a love
Never seen or known
Prays to God above
His heart finds a home
Misery loves Company
Or so she says
Company loves Misery
Like his life depends
On every word, she’s ever said
Company asks Misery to stay
But she knows
For him to live his life
He has to let her go
Misery left memories
To have and hold
Company thinks of her
When the cold wind blows
Misery loves Company
Or so she says
Company loves Misery
Like his life depends
On every word, she’s ever said
Misery is a free, free spirit
She rides the wind

Just like the seasons that turn
Some bridges are meant to burn
See the flames lick the sky
Singe the heavens that sit on high
Burning bridges in the night
Breathe in child, live your life
Burning bridges, burning bright
Rise up now, claim your right
Bring your baggage from the past
It was never meant to last
Stack them deep, stack them high
Some things need to die
Burning bridges in the night
Breathe in child, live your life
Burning bridges, burning bright
Rise up now, claim your right
Embers dim from the night
Leave the shadows for the light
Sense the freedom in the air
No more burden to bear
Burning bridges in the night
Breathe in child, live your life
Burning bridges, burning bright
Rise up now, claim your right
Rise up now and claim
Yeh, claim your right

Like a cat with nine lives
I know how to survive
Knock me down but not out
Your mistake no doubt
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Yeh, the deep end
Been to hell and back
Lived to not talk about that
My heart’s black as coal
Digging dirt to find my soul
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Yeh, the deep end
The hounds of hell shake the ground
Scream out loud without a sound
Call me friend, call me foe
Think the things you think you know
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Going off the deep end
Deep end, deep end, yeh
Deep end, deep end, yeh
Deep end, deep end, yeh

From cradle to grave
You treat me like your slave
Gave you all I got to give
But you want more
So, I dig and dig and dig
Stray dogs don’t make good pets
Loose this chain around my neck
Bite your hand master
Hope the hell you get there faster
Cradle to grave
In between is what matters
Cradle to grave
Ashes on the wind scatter
Cradle to grave
We’re all slaves
From cradle to grave
Fell down a hole
Grasping mud, skulls, and bones
Caught a glimpse of a light
Passed me by
As I spiraled through the night
Cradle to grave
In between is what matters
Cradle to grave
Ashes on the wind scatter
Cradle to grave
We’re all slaves
From cradle to grave

Ain’t here to save no souls
Can’t tell you what I don’t know
We are all God’s creation
Next stop, mercy station
Mercy, mercy me
Grace and peace is what we need
Mercy, mercy me
When sheep follow, wolves do lead
Don’t care much for man’s rules
Sail on, you ship of fools
Off earth’s edge and foundation
Next stop, mercy station
Mercy, mercy me
Grace and peace is what we need
Mercy, mercy me
When sheep follow, wolves do lead
Cry a river of tears
From the salt of life’s years
Embrace your emancipation
Next stop, mercy station
Mercy, mercy me
Grace and peace is what we need
Mercy, mercy me
When sheep don’t follow, wolves won’t lead
When sheep don’t follow, wolves won’t lead

Love me like you say
Not for a moment, not for a day
Not even when our kisses fade
Yeh, love me, yeh, love me
Like you say
Love comes, love goes
Where to God only knows
Break my heart into
A song written by the blues
Love me like you say
Not for a moment, not for a day
Not even when our kisses fade
Yeh, love me, yeh, love me
Like you say
Words twist, words turn
Paper curls, paper burns
Break my heart into
A song written by the blues
Love me like you say
Not for a moment, not for a day
Not even when our kisses fade
Yeh, love me, yeh, love me
Like you say
Yeh, yeh

My past with you was like a stone
Tries to drown me when I’m alone
You broke my heart and scarred my soul
You never cared to even know
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
But you do owe me
What you did made my head a mess
Your ghosts haunt me less and less
Now in my eleventh hour
I choose not to give you the power
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
But you do owe me
Tick tock, time marches on
Life’s short, let’s get it on
Living like there’s no tomorrow
No need to beg or borrow
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
You, you, you don’t own me
But you do owe me
