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
