Lyrics
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 saw the dead
I saw the dead
Back then, yeah, the door was always open
I come and go, back and forth, anytime I need
But I'm needing it more now than ever
As I'm fading away
And I'd claw at the door every bad night
But somehow it's blocked from the other side
Claw till my skin comes apart
Until I feel something
And I remembะตr that pain in my mother
Being helpless and feckless and far too young
And my brother was spiralling down
He said โKid, it's not me, it's this townโ
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
Then one day I might have kids myself
And hope that I don't **** them up myself, hey
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 saw the dead
I saw the dead
Back then, yeah, the door was always open
I come and go, back and forth, anytime I need
But I'm needing it more now than ever
As I'm fading away
And I'd claw at the door every bad night
But somehow it's blocked from the other side
Claw till my skin comes apart
Until I feel something
And I remembะตr that pain in my mother
Being helpless and feckless and far too young
And my brother was spiralling down
He said โKid, it's not me, it's this townโ
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
Then one day I might have kids myself
And hope that I don't **** them up myself, hey
