Somewhere Short of Heaven

Folder: 
2011

no I guess it's not so bad
in purgatory
silence is golden
so we dare not speak
wasted nights
percieved blights
and quiet existential dreams

no- it's not so bad
filtered light
and full of dust
skin and joint begin to rust
a thousand unmanned hands
lubricating me
here in purgatory

no- I guess it's not all bad
when heaven falls short
when you're face down
in the dirt
naughty naughty
dont get haughty
you've lost your purity

No- it's not all bad
when they pull up your skirt
eat a mouthful of dirt and dream
of your sainthood
and your angels
when you're down upon your knees
fuck me please

No- I guess it's not so bad
keeping it translucent
shadow play concrete
sparks fill my mouth
midas touched
and I can't speak
where is my heartbeat

No- it's not so bad
somewhere short of heaven
not quite hell
in hell you feel the rip
the tear the sweat
the burn the heat
concrete

I know this isn't hell but it's somewhere short of heaven
