Last Communion

I used to believe Heaven was bulletproof

Only God could turn the red light blue

Been cuttin' me deep, dyin' to talk to you

Only love can push the blade right through

This love's an orphan callin' on deaf ears

There's no afterlife, but if there is

It's late in the night time, so it's the right time

For sleep talkin', sleep talkin'

And now the heart's shot dead

Buried under each and every word unsaid

Twenty-four hours since "Goodbye, God bless"

'Fore we let the ghost get away

One last communion, babe

So I let it go, nobody else around

Couldn't watch forever fall face down

So I turned my head the second it hit the ground

And I felt it, but it made no sound

This love's an orphan callin' on deaf ears

And there's no afterlife, but if there is

It's late in the night time, so it's the right time

For sleep talkin', sleep talkin'

It was a grand old age

Oh yes, I know that nothin' gold can stay

But I couldn't bring myself to turn that page

Before I drop a kiss on the grave

One last communion, babe

One last communion, babe

One last, one last, one last

One last, one last

One last, one last, aye

It was a childish game

Who could light a candle in the cryin' rain?

No one could know about the mess we made

I'm scrubbin', prayin' that the blood don't stain

I only whisper your name

For one last communion, babe

One last communion, babe (Oh yeah, oh yeah, babe)

One last, one last
