Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I cannot spend another night in this home
I close my eyes and take a breath real slow
The consequence is if I leave, I'm alone
But what's the difference when you beg for love?
[Verse 2]
As I run through glass in the street
Kerosene hearts
Carry the name that my father gave me
And take the face of the wolf
[Chorus]
'Cause this is a wasteland
My only retreat
With heaven above you
There's hell over me
[Verse 3]
I met a girl who never looked so alone
Like sugar water in your mouth, luke warm
She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue
We fell in love and now we're both alone
[Verse 4]
'Cause I don't need anymore friends
And another kiss like the fire on pavement
We'll burn it down till the end
[Chorus]
This is a wasteland
My only retreat
With heaven above you
There's hell over me
The water is rusted
The air is unclean
And there for a second I feel free
[Chorus]
This is a wasteland
My only retreat
[Bridge]
I've waited
All this night to honor you and say
I know it's hard
But who are you to fall apart on me, on me?
[Chorus]
This is a wasteland
My only retreat
With heaven above you
There's hell over me
[Chorus]
'Cause this is a wasteland
My only retreat
With heaven above you
There's hell over me
[Chorus]
You said what about us, well
What about me?
Hang from the gallows, asleep in the rain
'Cause this is a wasteland
My only retreat
[Outro]
Paralyze me
Don't let me jump, don't let me fall
