“Hell Above” Lyrics

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 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’ve waited all this night to honor you and 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?
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
