Heaven Is Over Rated

Expectations from the world I left behind
Digging up frustrations from the spent time

I dream upon notions seeing pretense emotions
I want everything to be all right

Therefore, I am driven by memories of light
I do not want to be another creation

Therefore, I start on my soul-searching salvation
I struggle for the chance to be healed once more

Therefore, I stand before this very door as I did long ago
And as I reach out to the emulating glow realize my head is
Hanging low for I cannot take what it bestows
