Falling from Grace

I lost my way on a Sunday night

Under the glow of a flickering streetlight

The bells from the church

They were calling my name

But I don’t think heaven’s got room for my shame

I heard whispers in the cracks of the sky

Do you pray when you know it’s a lie

Falling from grace

No wings to break my fall

Screaming at the silence

But no one hears at all

If I’m a sinner

Then let me burn

But the fire’s so cold

And I’ll never learn

I saw your face in a shattered mirror

The edges cut

But the pain felt clearer

I tried to write you a letter last night

But the words turned to ash in the candlelight

Falling from grace

No wings to break my fall

Screaming at the silence

But no one hears at all

If I’m a sinner

Then let me burn

But the fire’s so cold

And I’ll never learn

And the church bells ring like a funeral hymn

For the boy who never could let them in

The stained glass cracks under weight of my doubt

Guess this is what they always warned me about
