A song about my only heaven - the end of civilization.
LYRICS
-----------
The streets are heavy and broken
And I can see the life come peeking through the dead concrete
Minds are healthy and open
And the burning of the cities gives our fingers heat

This is my only heaven
I'm not what people say
I'm just a dreamer and I'm waiting for this every day
The garden's growing
The leaders have no sway
The dams are bleeding and I'm waiting for this every day

The ashes surround the things that we feared
The rain that's comin' down disguises your tears
But baby don't cry, though everything's gone
The end of this world is the start of our own

The cars are silent and still
The roads filled with processions of the rusting machines
And suddenly we remember what it's like to feel alive
I've spent every single moment escaping this monotony
Fuck this monotony

(Chorus)
