Heaven Knows

Rise Against · Revolutions Per Minute [2003]

The day i learn to fly, i'm never coming down

On perfect wings i'll rise through the layers of the clouds



And from there i see the neon grids of cities

Where six million people that keep their fires lit



And i threw a party in my name

But the hours crawled by and no one came

So i bowed my head and i prayed for wings

to take me from this place...from you



I see myself inside, you dream the dreams that i do

You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist



And from there i see the neon grids of cities

Where six million people that can keep their fires lit



And i threw a party in my name

But the hours crawled by and no one came

So i bowed my head and i prayed for wings

to take me from this place...from you



And i close my eyes as the curtains draw

I thought i heard your voice but i thought wrong

'cause you're not there anymore

no you're not there anymore



And so i lift my chin and the show goes on

the sky is listening, the stars all sing along

but you're not there anymore

and i just can't care anymore
