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 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 a cherry stem for me with her tongue
We fell in love and now we're both alone
'Cause I don't need any more 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 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
