Song by Dashboard Confessional; art by me.---> Hope dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption Winding in and winding out The shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated {Chorus} I am Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right I swear I knew it all along And I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So clear Like the diamond in your ring Cut to mirror your intentions Oversized and overwhelmed The shine of which has caught my eye And rendered me So isoloated, so motivated I am certain now that {Chorus} So turn Up the corners of your lips Part them and feel my finger tips Trace the moment, fall forever Defense is paper thin Just one touch and I'd be in Too deep now to ever swim against the current So let me slip away (3x) So let me slip against the current So let me slip away (4x) {Chorus} Slight hope It dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption...

I love the feeling you've brought to this piece. I myself like the wings... not all wings are meant to be bird or butterfly-like. I dig it..

I like the captive angel and have always been a fan of text in art, it creates a wonderful texture in the background, good work for sure Lauren and thanks for the comment

The title may need a bit of a change. I mean the piece is so dark... the titl;e really doesn't fit (and being picky; you may want to look at someimages of bird wings) but I do some emotion-run pieces myself and as far as they go this one is really strong.

Hmmm... The title and the feeling of this drawing do not jive to me. Vindicated seems like the character would be released. I don't get the feeling that this angel is going anywhere anytime soon. Good work.
