lyrics

When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
Between giving up and trying to shut a door
If there were any way I could put it all behind me
I swear I'd give to you like no-one has before

When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
Between the dark night and the color of her eyes
If I could understand the way that I was feeling
I would cast away those things that you despise

It's like mercy, but I'm not sure I can explain
Or forgiveness, though I don't know why I'm forgiven again
It's like power, the kind that comes from above
But of all I've seen, of all I've heard
Of all I know, it's the closest thing to love

When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
Am I better now or worse than before?
If I could pull from my heart this anchor of hesitation
The consequence would come to me no more

When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
So I turn to you with my small and open hands
How could there be a way for you to love me?
Why would you ever try to understand?

It's like mercy, but I'm not sure I can explain
Or forgiveness, though I don't know why I'm forgiven again
It's like power, the kind that comes from above
But of all I've seen, of all I've heard
Of all I know, it's the closest thing to love

It's like mercy, but I'm not sure I can explain
Or forgiveness, though I don't know why I'm forgiven again
It's like power, the kind that comes from above
But of all I've seen, of all I've heard
Of all I know, of all I want
Of all I need, it's the closest thing to love

Red Heaven Ottawa, Ontario

Red Heaven is lots of weird and intense original rock, blues, and world music. The band formed in 2011 and has released five semi-experimental hard rock albums. Red Heaven’s Joel Tamas (guitar and voice), Trevor Lubin (guitar), Jake Ferrera (drums), Cyrus Tearlach Robertson Orkish (bass), and Allison Bruneau (voice). Someone once told me the band sounds like umami tastes. ... more
