Hell Above (may these noises startle you in your sleep)

If you wanted to set me free 

Why the fuck wouldn't you just say something?

See, I was just over seventeen

Made of poison, cave in free


Oh no, please don't abandon me

Mother, father, I love you so

But this is just me disguised as me

I'm the killer who burned your home


This is home 

What the fuck is home?


This is the street youth rising up!


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?


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


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 a cherry stem for me with her tongue

We fell in love and now we're both alone


Cause I don't need anymore friends

And another kiss like a fire on pavement

We'll burn it down till the end


Oh, oh


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

This is a wasteland, my only retreat


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?"


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

Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain

Cause this is a wasteland my only retreat

Paralyze me

Don't let me jump, don't let me fall
