Heaven Can Be Replaced / Every Reason To Lyrics

Heaven can be replaced

As a statue be defaced

By a whole and handsome face

Who is worth saving

Worth saving from the storm

From being tattered or being torn

Sent back to being born instead of aging

Who could say where my footsteps lead astray?

It sure as hell beats anyplace else I've stayed

When the dream of life was young

All was a victory to be won

Not a nerve meant to be stung by cynicism

For people by design, are faulty and unkind

Drinking up your blood like wine with criticism

I'm not sure how these thoughts could bring me doubt

But I think a friend like you could help me figure it out

A shouting voice drives a wooden stake through my spirit's drum

Like shards of glass from a windshield stained in driver's blood

Are these visions or pressures yet to be released?

Or are these shades of raw detail becoming dreams?

How will I know between the truth and accident?

Is it between my deeds and my intent?

I must remember

That pain is its own pleasure

It's not the will or weather

It's all in how you measure

Your friends to whom you're indebted

Oh you swear they won't regret it

Though you know

That they have every reason to

That they have every reason... to

It's not the time or season

It's what you make of reason

So strangers to whom I'm bound

Please don't fail me now

Though I know

That you have every reason to

That you have every reason
