Deep beneath the world there are angels.
Angels that are clawing at the world,
Trying to get
People to know that they exist
And survive,
That they are breathing just beneath the ground.
Their wings are cramped and dingy,
All squeezed together,
Nothing to gain on but
Sadness
And one day they’ll break free.
All they need is a little faith.
