	I’m not your angel I’ve got battle scars, I don’t bow to Mars Turning the tables, I am rageful over you You think I’m pretty I think you’re shitty, cowardly Dreaming of how I could tear you limb from limb Burn away your sin, coz I’m not your angel I’m not your sweetness I’m a bitter pill, I can make you ill Caught in your own snare I’m not coming back for you You think you own me I think you’re lonely Bonily groping to close up the emptiness inside As ugly as it’s wide, well I’m not your angel I’m not your saviour You better run from me, I’ve got real sharp teeth I’m out of patience, I’m erasing over you You think I’m soft as, you better run fast Your past is coming home to roost Come come come coming home to roost Your past is coming home to roost Come come come coming home, coming home I’m not your angel You’re out of angels

about

Learning how to express and channel my anger is an ongoing journey for me, and this song has been an important step in really owning it as a part of my wholeness that is not only valid but vitally important. So with this song I’m rejecting over-sanitised notions of femininity and reclaiming my rage as a healthy, vital force.

I’m speaking up for the earth and the divine feminine principle which has been abused, undermined, and disrespected too long.

I’m saying goodbye to my people pleasing ‘good girl’, and ushering in a woman who stands in her integrity, empowered, boundaried and strong.

I hope it will find the people who connect with it as a tonic and medicine for the soul.

about

Ruth Blake England, UK

Ruth’s gently evocative music is born out of her own passion for self-knowledge; driven to explore the deepest essence of her humanity and her interconnectedness with the great web of life. In her music she blends the numinous with the human, weaving hypnotic guitar riffs and tender poetry with rambunctious offbeat grooves and playful word-smithery. ... more
