Celestial blues
A mile in my shoes
The devil left a bruise
But God left a light on for Her wayward ones
Left under a fountainhead for dead
Casting out the spirit of death
Under Her breast
She says, "Take my hand"
Let's go to the land
But my life is no longer mine once I recite
Shrill noises from a crypt
Living in shoes, yeah, I don't know what to do
Walking in skin, I've got celestial blues
Looking for a home, oh, it just doesn't exist
Festering wound you know I never could fix
Well I hang my head, I'm not feeling right
I want to ascend into the divine
But I'm stuck
Right here
But I'm not from here that's for certain
I've never felt like a normal person
I hang my head, I'm not feeling right
I want to ascend until we collide
I want to crash my heart into the divine
Celestial night
They took me from my birthright
Celestial night
They took me from my birthright
Celestial night
They took me from my birthright
Celestial night
I'm not from here that's for certain
I've never felt like a normal person
So now I hang my head, I'm not feeling right
I want to ascend until we collide
I want to crash my heart into the divine
