Angel In Lothian

When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian

I was only a child but I trust my eyes

She burnt up like a comet before me

Before I could even say "Hi"

Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia

With a space station rattling above my head

And I shot the day

I shot the day

Back then, yeah, the other door was always open

I come and go, back and forth, everytime I need

I'm needing you more now than ever

'Cause I'm fading away

And I'm clawing that door every bad night

But somehow it's barred from the other side

I claw till my skin comes apart

Until I feel something

And I remembеr that pain in my mother

Being helpless and reckless and far too young

My brother was spiralling down

He said “Kid, it's not me, it's this town”

So I rail against that feeling when it comes

I no longer have solitude behind that door

And I know drugs that can hold it

You gotta hold it yourself

I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian

She could've fixed all the problems that I cannot fix

But one day I might have kids myself

And hope that I don't **** them up myself, hey
