Hell Above

I cannot spend another night in this home
I close my eyes and take a breath real slow
The consequences if I leave 'em alone -
But what’s the difference when you beg for love?

I learned the blood’s in the stream
and the sea, oh
I leave the name that my father gave me
and take the face of the world

'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat.
With heaven above you, there’s hell over me

I met a girl who never looked so alone
Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm
She tied her cherry stem for me with her tongue
We fell in love and now we’re both alone

I don’t need any more friends
And another kiss like a fire on pavement
We’ll burn it down to the end

Oh oh,
Th-Th-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 fine
This is a wasteland, my only retreat.

(Don't be scared)
I've waited all this night to want you to say
I know it’s hard, but who are you to fall apart on me, on me?

This is a wasteland, my only retreat.
With heaven above you, there's hell over me.
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat.
With heaven above you, there’s hell over me
You said "What about us?"
Well, what about me?
I came from the gutters, Asleep in the rain
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat.
