That I've gotta cast out
And there's a preacher standing beside me
Looking at me with his doubt
because I know when I go
to meet my fate
I'll be staring down God
at the pearly gates
and when he sees me
will He see me?
cause I've made some bad decisions
I've made some grim mistakes
and all I'm asking
and all I'm praying
is to bless me with your grace
Cause I've been waiting on a dream
I've been waiting for something more
I've been waiting on a seamless ending
Yeah I need an angel
To stop me from going down
Don't wanna be stuck underground
cause when the devil's on your shoulder
you learn as you get older
whispers in your ear
the things you want to hear
and even though you know it's not a cure
you'll say "keep em coming" more and more
I was young
I didn't have a care
Thought I'd get out of here
Oh, how wrong I was
I didn't have a care
and now I'm stuck in here
Now I'm stuck in this nightmare
That I can't wake up
Every day is just another rut
I'm stuck in here
But my dream's out there
And there's a preacher standing beside me
Looking at me with his doubt
because I know when I go
to meet my fate
I'll be staring down God
at the pearly gates
and when he sees me
will He see me?
cause I've made some bad decisions
I've made some grim mistakes
and all I'm asking
and all I'm praying
is to bless me with your grace
Cause I've been waiting on a dream
I've been waiting for something more
I've been waiting on a seamless ending
Yeah I need an angel
To stop me from going down
Don't wanna be stuck underground
cause when the devil's on your shoulder
you learn as you get older

you'll say "keep em coming" more and more
