A recorded reading of “Heaven Hates Me Gently”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
No lightning struck. No fire fell. Just silence, like a private hell. No wrath, just absence dressed in gold— the kind of pain that doesn’t scold. Heaven hates me like a song— soft, but wrong.
Lyrics
I never sinned loud I never screamed I just bled quiet In holy dreams The angels stared But looked away Guess even grace Can’t always stay I begged for light But got the gray I prayed for dawn But slept through day Heaven hates me gently Not with flame But with forgetting And soft disdain No thunder, no fall Just silence, cold A love denied So soft, it holds Heaven hates me gently Like a lullaby Sung by gods Who let me die I wore my faith Like borrowed skin Hoping they'd see The good within But halos fade And so did I A saint too small To sanctify I begged for light But got the gray I prayed for dawn But slept through day Heaven hates me gently Not with flame But with forgetting And soft disdain No thunder, no fall Just silence, cold A love denied So soft, it holds Heaven hates me gently Like a lullaby Sung by gods Who let me die They never cursed But never cared And I stood still While nothing stared Heaven hates me gently That’s the worst No drama Just a quiet curse And maybe love Was never mine Just mercy’s echo Out of time
