Heaven’s Just a House I Burned

I lit the match with trembling hands, Watched the flames consume the plans. All the hymns they swore would save, Just turned to smoke above my grave.

No angels sang, no mercy stirred, ‘Cause heaven’s just a house I burned.

Heaven’s just a house I burned, A lesson cruel that I’ve learned. No more prayers, no bridges turned — Heaven’s just a house I burned.

I carved my sins in blacktop stone, Never begged, I rode alone. The preacher’s words all cracked and churned, When heaven fell to ash I burned.

Don’t wait for me, don’t call my name… I chose the fire, I chose the flame.

Heaven’s just a house I burned, A bitter truth the night confirmed. No redemption, no return — Heaven’s just a house I burned.

(Snarled spoken line under solo:) Some men kneel… but I just let it burn.

Heaven’s just a house I burned, Ashes fly, but I’m not concerned. My soul ain’t lost — it’s unreserved, Heaven’s just a house I burned.
