Had the cape and stars to soar above the ground
Wasn't enough to stop it all from crashing down
Stayed inside the lines, conformity that surrounds
Was like flying with your wings broken and bound
So I shed all sense of reason and this is what I found
Chorus
I am broken, I'm an angel, I'm a broken down angel
Poison saturates, a hundred Sundays couldn't heal
A cold and empty shell pleading only not to feel
Condemned by my mind when shame was all I knew
How was I to know my deepest sin was not my deepest truth
Did you know your deepest sin is not your deepest truth
Chorus
You are broken, you're an angel, you're a broken down angel
Bridge
If you've ever danced the line of death and life, despair and strife
You have to feel the pain to write its taste, experience the grace
I'm a broken down angel and I'm waiting to take flight
Gonna leave the midnight sky and take it's light, which once was bright
