No Closer To Heaven Lyrics - No Closer To Heaven - The Wonder Years

Digging up the bones of the failures I've buried 

I'm pulling out my white flags in various stages 

The sun bleached in gray 

Gonna sew them all together 

Gonna fashion their bones into a frame 

Tie the flags on a 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 

The glow of the city 

Out across the great plains 

With the closer I get 

The further I feel away 

I can stay here in the darkness 

Feels like I'm wandering in circles for days 

We never reach the gates 

I'll keep walking anyway 

I'm no closer to heaven
