"Heaven" lyrics

"Heaven"
(originally by The Walkmen)

Our children will always hear
Romantic tales of distant years
Our gilded age may come and go
Our crooked dreams will always flow

Stick with me
You're my best friend
All of my life
You've always been

Remember, remember
All we fight for

Feels like we're standing on a cloudy, golden precipice
With our mistakes all behind us and only heaven in front of us
And sometimes it feels like we've lost faith in reality
A generation searching for one fucking story

But now we're patients killed by medicine
We're addicted to our suffering
We're voices in a million searching for something to believe in

Screaming
"All that's good is gone
All we used to love is dead
And now our only heroes
Are the voices in our heads"
