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
