The Wonder Years - No Closer To Heaven

I'm digging up the bones of the failures I've buried
I'm pulling down my white flags
In varying stages of sun bleached and grey
I'm gonna sew them all together
I'm gonna fashion the bones into a frame
Tie the flags on with string
Stretched across until they're wings
I'm no closer to Heaven
I clipped a bird with my car on the freeway
He won't see a burial and all week long I kept thinking of death
How me and Hemingway share forehead scars
I won't meet the same fate that he did
In a world that I can't fix
With a hammer in my grip
I'm no closer to Heaven
It feels like the day before something important
It feels like the first snow of the season that sticks
It's how I'll always feel like a failure
In the back of my head
No matter where I've been
The future feels bright
Like the glow of a city
Out across the Great Plains
Where the closer I get, the further I feel away
I could stay here in the darkness
Feels like I'm wandering in circles for days
I may never reach the gates
I'll keep walking anyway
I'm no closer to Heaven
I'm digging up the bones of the failures I've buried
I'm pulling down my white flags
In varying stages of sun bleached and grey
I'm gonna sew them all together
I'm gonna fashion the bones into a frame
Tie the flags on with string
Stretched across until they're wings
I'm no closer to Heaven
I clipped a bird with my car on the freeway
He won't see a burial and all week long I kept thinking of death
How me and Hemingway share forehead scars
I won't meet the same fate that he did
In a world that I can't fix
With a hammer in my grip
I'm no closer to Heaven
It feels like the day before something important
It feels like the first snow of the season that sticks
It's how I'll always feel like a failure
In the back of my head
No matter where I've been
The future feels bright
Like the glow of a city
Out across the Great Plains
Where the closer I get, the further I feel away
I could stay here in the darkness
Feels like I'm wandering in circles for days
I may never reach the gates
I'll keep walking anyway
I'm no closer to Heaven
