You would threaten me with heaven
Like a good girl gets a treat
But I caught you with your matches
So I turned mine on you
See
And now your holy city is a heap of ash and heat
Turns out heaven was a threat
And I burned down the threat
Now I'm standing in the wreck
And I like it
You'd threaten me with heaven
So I made your heaven hell
No one tells me where I'm going
Now I'm leading where I fell
And it all came down in smoke and sound
And I can see it well
Turns out heaven was a threat
And I burned down the threat
Now I'm standing in the wreck
And I like it
Turns out heaven was a threat
And I burned down the threat
Now I'm standing in the wreck
And I like it
You would threaten me with heaven
Said it's where good girls should go
But I finally see what I was scared of
Heaven's just a word for something I don't know
So I'm never going back to it
'Cause I'm better off below
And I want you to remember
When you get there
You are all alone
Turns out heaven was a threat
And I burned down the threat
Now I'm standing in the wreck
And I like it
Turns out heaven was a threat
And I burned down the threat
Now I'm standing in the wreck
And I like it
Turns out heaven was a threat
And I burned down the threat
Now I'm standing in the wreck
And I like it
Turns out heaven was a threat
And I burned down the threat
Now I'm standing in the wreck
And I like it

Heaven Was a Threat
They don't sell heaven as a promise. They sell it as a threat with better lighting. I caught them holding the matches, so I used mine first. Now I'm standing in the wreck — and I like it.
