Will The Heavens Catch Us?

Home from the hospital

In the grey mist of morning

The pain is pouring and pulling you under

Written into a story

That's become a bloody bar fight

Heavier than god's own holy thunder

Well, it's alright

No we can't control the daylight

So we rush right in like a wrecking ball

Will the heavens catch us when we fall?

I'm a Louisville slugger

Aimed for the fences

While my oldest defenses keep me down

I give my confession

Without disgrace or discretion

I will torch the kingdom outright, just to hold the crown

But, it's alright

No we can't command the moonlight

So we rush right in like a wrecking ball

Will the heavens catch us when we fall?

We writhe in agony

For our precious little legacy

Love and mercy

Gasoline and matches

You say you've got a few bridges left to burn

And the flickering flame

Is asking me a question

I can't find the lesson to be learned

But, it's alright

No we can't control the daylight

Well, it's alright

No we can't command the moonlight

So we rush right in like a wrecking ball

Will the heavens catch us when we fall?
