lyrics

This isn't what I expected. No, not even close.
Did no one think to give me a warning?
Yes, of course I look like I've just seen a ghost.
That's just the realisation dawning.

Here in this shaded room I think to myself
Where has this trail got me going?
I'm told it was made for me, made for no one else.
I'm told the pressure isn't showing.

We're building up to the count down
And every eye turns my way
Technically, I could back down
But what am I supposed to say?

A thousand angels are coming to get me
A thousand voices are haunting my sleep
There's no escaping this fight; they control it
I try to run. Though I hide, I am seen.

I've made it this far and I can't believe it's true
It's hard to imagine what I've done
I know it gets harder but I will see this through
Because I know I must not run

And though I'm dangerously hanging by a thread
I will still find a pathway home
There may not always be someone by my side
But I'm told that I am not alone

I feel like I'm coming around
I feel like I can face these days
But still I faintly hear the sounds
And they won't go away

A thousand angels are coming to get me
A thousand voices are haunting my sleep
There's no escaping this fight; they control it
I try to run. Though I hide, I am seen.
A thousand angels are coming to get me
A thousand voices are haunting my sleep
There's no escaping this fight; they control it
I try to run. Though I hide, I am seen.

A thousand angels are hijacking my world
A thousand eyes watch as I start to scream
And every angel will fight for the same end
A thousand angels are coming for me
A thousand angels are hijacking my world
A thousand eyes watch as I start to scream
And every angel will fight for the same end
A thousand angels are coming for me

(On and on and on they go)
A thousand angels are coming to get me
(They're starting to surround)
A thousand voices are haunting my sleep
(On and on and on they go)
There's no escaping this fight; they control it
(What's hidden underground)
I try to run. Though I hide, I am seen.
(On and on and on They go)
A thousand angels are hijacking my world
(They're starting to surround)
A thousand eyes watch as I start to scream
(On and on and on They go)
And every angel will fight for the same end
(What we hide underground)
A thousand angels are coming for me

A thousand angels are coming to get me
A thousand angels are coming for me
A thousand angels are coming to get me
A thousand angels are coming for me
