Liner Notes

#singersongwriter #indiepop #acousticonetake

Hi hi, friends! This is the second of two songs commissioned by a fantastic author duo I was referred to. This song is from the perspective of their protagonist heroine, a fae college student who falls for a literal angel.

Enjoy! Thanks for listening!

Lyrics

I never cared to know about angels
'Cause I'm no angel myself
But this one's crooked halo
And his perfect velvet lips
Have got me craving more
Like I could crawl out of my shell

So send me straight
Straight to hell

My blue eyes are hiding secrets that I'll never let you know
You can try to find the key that unlocks me
But It's lurking deep below
I am August wildfires, you won't see me in the smoke
I'll vanish as you choke
My blue eyes are hiding secrets and you're dying to know

I never thought I'd end up in Eden
The garden smells so sweet
But I am blackest nightshade
Watch me curdle your affinity
The Almighty said I'd find peace
But that's hard to believe

So punish me
Take my soul between your teeth

My blue eyes are hiding secrets that I'll never let you know
You can try to find the key that unlocks me
But it's lurking deep below
I am August wildfires, shimmer in the heat
Turn to black your golden wings
My blue eyes are hiding secrets
But you can taste my lies
My lies
My lies
My lies

I am August wildfires, leave destruction in my wake
But something makes me stay

I never cared to know about angels
But for you, I've got it bad
So take my blackened heart
Do with it what you will

My blue eyes are hiding secrets
But they're all about to spill
