Heaven’s Just a House I Burned (Alt 2)

Used to dream of golden gates Back when I still feared my fate But mercy felt like loaded dice So I lit the match and rolled it twice

I carved my sins into the floor Of every place I begged before But silence answered every plea So I gave up on saving me

Heaven’s just a house I burned Every page I never learned I don't pray and I don't plead — I got scars where saints would bleed Let the preachers scream and twist I'll find peace in smoke and fist Heaven’s just a house I burned... And I never looked back

I saw angels beg for breath While demons dealt the cards of death I called it faith, I called it fair But all I found was empty air

No gospel ever stopped my fall No holy ghost behind the wall So I walked out with blood and flame And never once looked back in shame

Heaven’s just a house I burned Every truth I overturned I don't kneel, I don't pretend — My soul don’t break, it only bends Let the saints hold onto gold I got fire that don’t grow cold Heaven’s just a house I burned... And I never looked back

Ain’t no hymn for men like me Just ash and bones and memory I’d sin again if it meant I’d feel — At least I’d know it all was real

Heaven’s just a house I burned With no salvation ever earned I don’t owe the sky a thing I ride alone, I don’t wear rings Let the wind forgive or curse I’ll keep riding through the verse Heaven’s just a house I burned... And I never looked back
