Above Me

There's no heaven above me 
And the world's getting mighty ugly 
I need a good heart to come and hug me 
Father the world's getting ugly
And it seems there's no heaven above me
As I sit starring at the wall 
From the sky, I watch the stars fall
Given this talent, this oddly balance 
I never had a mother or father 
Who brought into this world and why bother? 
Death being a made sacrifice 
Who wants to live twice in this life? 
Tidal waves, mud slides, and desperate housewives 
Baby girl go lay your thoughts down and get some rest 
Let go of your stress & lay your head across my chest 
Just let me burn, calm at sea 
Just read my palms and let me be, cant you see 
There's no heaven above me 
And the world's getting mighty ugly 
Needs a good heart to come and hug me 
Father the world's getting ugly
And it seems there's no heaven above me
Granted that we are promised, "A second coming" 
Blown trumpets, Reckoning of angels humming 
Now maybe time won't consume my soul
Pneumonia tunes my cold 
My shoulders going global
Yet when my tears got heavy, I never once faltered 
Right beside me, now I'm cursed at the alter 
Webster define me love
In my heart, something warm tells me to look above
My lord, you be with those acquaintance, my friends 
Cause tomorrow looking foggy thru this lenses
And I miss being a kid 
But how can I reminisce on the things I never did
The storms getting closer
Maybe I'll see the Rapture, through a holster 
I put my life on that poster, piss on it & let it burn 
No worry, It's none of your concern 
Still, there’s no heaven above me 
And the world's getting mighty ugly 
Needs a good heart to come and hug me 
Father the world's getting ugly
And it seems there's no heaven above me
