Description
Enter through these pearly gates
Everything glistens here
Everything is in its right place
You have not a care in the world

Let me give you the tour
Let me show you the sights
Let me show you the miracle
So you know this is perfect

Relax a little, feel comfortable
Give up everything you feared
Know that everything here is good
Everything here is in its right place

Don’t mind what’s behind the curtain
It’s not yours to be concerned
Just sit and relax
You have not a care in the world

Give in completely to being content
Only crave the beauty here
We know that you’d never walk away
Everything here is in its right place

Stop worrying about your turned back
Put your faith into the beauty
You know this is only for you
Why would we lie to you?

Now the curtain burns a fire
Everything warm has become heat
Comfort has become seclusion
No one’s left in this room but me

The flames grow higher still
This miracle has burnt away
Only this charcoal here remains
This memory will never fade

Now the flesh crawls with nerves
Now the tears flow freely
Now this deep voice commands me
With no compassion and not a care

Show me everything I ever wanted
Everything I ever needed
I gave in and fell deeply in love
Into this fire has burnt me alive

I thought I walked into heaven
And everything was perfect
Now these gates have slammed shut
Now this mind’s a basket case

Everything’s burnt and can’t be saved
This house ablaze with stinging haze
All the smoke has made me choke
I cannot breathe without the blood flow

Dehydrated passing out
All the liquid has escaped me
Through natural secretion
And through bleeding intently

So I sit in the remains
So desolate this burnt place
Falling structure all around
So many pieces on the ground

You saw no escape but demolition
Overstayed my welcome in this place
Now I’ve condemned my remaining life
However long that may be

A callous woman placed the gun
Placed against my temple firmly
As I begged and pleaded to stay
To stay in heaven after fire

There’s no one here anymore
I’m not even a shell of what I was
Running over this damaged skin
The cold metal eases the burns

My heaven was turned to hell
Killed off all the hopes and dreams
Just a nervous wreck of emotion
A lonely boy with nothing left to live for
