One more fix just a little bit of that
Heaven I found crawling in the sun
Sitting, waiting, calling me
To indulge in this game that's gonna set me free
Another wasted night and here I am again
Promises remain just promises and I don't know why
A moment of weakness is a moment of clarity
I know what I want
Why fight the temptation when it's all you've got
When it's all I've ever known
So how have you been? Do the old ways of the past start to suck?
Once again I've caught myself delivering from all I've gained
Lies to myself I've seen the justified means
I've got no time to listen to your good advice
I'm doin' just fine
Down on my own down here
I know what did this time to bring you to my knees
It's only a matter of time before I fall again
But that's alright
It's the little things in life that always mean the most to me anyway
So what if I go with a little piece of faith and then take the edge away
Just like the living dead
That walk around the graves these nights
It's better in the closet
Found a piece of mind I never had
Time to escape from reality
I caught him looking at the world
With bulged eyes open wide
To the truth yeah
I wanna be found smilin' when I'm dyin' here
I wanna burn my eyes out on the sun
In heaven's basement you're the one that killed me first
Another endless night goes down
One more fix just a little bit
Of that heaven I found crawling in my sun
Sitting, waiting, calling me
to indulge in this game that's gonna set me free
A moment of weakness is all I got and it's all I ever know
Another wasted night and here I am ...
