This is a song written about Michelangelo's angel. Michelangelo was a 16th century italian renaissance painter, sculptor, poet, architect, and engineer. He is best known for his sculpture of David.

lyrics:
michelangelo came to me in my sleep and he asked me when i was gonna find out the world was cold
so i told him though i may look only 17
i was actually very very old, very old

oh you are not my salvation
and i don't need your stone wings, I don't need your creation, your preservation

so the voices came to my by the thousands low and deep
saying i was actually going crazy cos i had hope
but i shoved them aside and i made another dream
where everything i touched turned to gold

oh i do not hold perfection but i can incur resurrection
so you don't need protection

these were my walls
i remember them clearly from before i had the nerve to hold anyone dearly

he's a renaissance man with a hand for it all, but he doesn't know how to let himself fall
if you do it all right then you can't do it wrong you have no chance to let go so you have to hold on

oh I will fly for you angel I know you can't make the trip yourself i'll get the view
and bring it back for you
