"Will The Heavens Catch Us?" lyrics

"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
And 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 now 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?
