Lyrics

Heaven Bound

Where in the world can I capture a break?
This old town’s been treating me like a snake
How much more can an imbecile take?
Can you imagine a mountain made of disillusion?
Out on the limb of a terminal tree
Splintering, it snaps at the weight of me
To the ground I float like a leaf
Can you imagine an ocean of dissatisfaction?
I’m drowning in a sea of resentment, indifference and greed
Could it be that nobody cares?
Pass me by with nose in the air
Can you imagine a desert teaming with deception?
I’m melting in the sand in the land of the quiet despair
Weather bargain, showbiz jargon
Can you imagine a fortune waning in a heartbeat?
I’ve been here and there unaware
Filing no complaints and it isn’t fair
But I stayed ‘cause I wouldn’t scare
Can you imagine an ending with no resolution?
And now I’m neck deep in the pollution, I’m in disrepair

They speak in cryptic clues and shout disarming news
Did you know all of the voices are you?
Sometimes they make no sense, they speak at your expense
Soft soothing whispers that hide their intents
If you listen to them you’re doomed
The false personas assumed
You’ve been sufficiently groomed
You go up, up, up, then down to the ground
Up, up, up, then twisted around
Up, up, up and into the clouds heaven bound, heaven bound
Conspire with the voice, desire constant noise
And you will make an irrational choice
If you are reckoning that sorrow’s beckoning
Your prior knowledge won’t lessen a thing
If you set your sights on the sky
It doesn’t mean you can fly
This babel you must decry
You go up, up, up, then down to the ground
Up, up, up, to follow the sound
Up, up, up and into the clouds heaven bound, heaven bound
You can’t survive this thing with no awakening
The warning siren is starting to sing
And this monologue from beyond will never let you respond
It’s time to sever the bond
You go up, up, up, then down to the ground
Up, up, up, throw shade on the town
Up, up, up and into the clouds heaven bound, heaven bound
