Heaven



Don't look at me with eyes like that
You don't understand the turmoil I've been through, the depths that I've gotten myself into
When I take this I know, cloud nine is only temporary
But it's the closest I can get
It's not good for me, I know
But how would you deal with it all, knowing
There's no-one out there, and falling
I hear a calling and leave it behind, you can't be too attached to the world in this lifetime
Go ahead and pull me back
Play out your pantomime roles of power, big men.
I'm sure death will enjoy your resume
All I ask of you is don't treat me like some deluded fool
I can see everything for what it is
We're all the same in some respect
But you have your heaven, and we have ours
