I know things like Heaven exist
I was welcomed to its monumental gate
Inscribed up high were letters of six
And never was I one to believe in fate
But nothing seemed better than to walk on through

Swelled with a blinding light
Oh, I couldn't resist
It spread rampant as blight
Oh, I had to enlist
Somewhere in or on me, I had to enlist
Those beautiful letters of six

I wanna make it up to you
For all the things you do
I wanna hover up to you
Just for a single piece of you

Angels are so easily abused
Their wings so tempting to a fiend's misuse
Down and down and down to Tartarus you fall
And you question if the ground is there at all

You can learn to fly again
And I'd do all that I can to amend

"What mistakes could you make on the way," you say?
I do mean to do my best
That through our love we'll reach the crest
But with you an angel and I a man,
No man could be made without something from below

I wanna make it up to you
For all the peaceable things you do
I wanna fly up with you
Just for another piece of you

In my hand
A fossil from a pitch black land
Feast your eyes, recognize it well
And the pain through nightmares shall swell

Your wings had just repaired
I guess you had a reason to be scared
You could feel the tendons pull apart
So much for a fresh new start

I wanna make it up to you
For all the terrible things I do
I wanna fly up with you
But where is the rest of you?

It's all fucked up
It's over
But still, I
I couldn't walk away from this
I'm so fucked up
Although I'm sober
And now, I
I have your name on my wrist

It's all fucked up
(Swelled with a blinding light)
It's over
(Oh, I couldn't resist)
But still, I
(It spread rampant as blight)
I couldn't walk away from this
(Oh, I had to enlist)
And still, I
(Somewhere in or on me, I had to enlist)
I have your name on my wrist
(Those beautiful letters of six)

I know things like Heaven exist
I was welcomed to its monumental gate
Inscribed up high were letters of six
It was your name, your name, your name
It was your name, your name, your name
Your name, your name, your name, your name

I wanna make it up to you
For all the things you do
I wanna stand right next to you
Hoping for one last piece of you

I wanna make it up to you
For all the things you do
