Heaven Or Hell

I’m lost, and i gotta pay the cost 
i’m slowing down, tryna make it to town
i keep on falling, looking for panacea, feels like i got more problems than north korea.
nothings been right, always putting up a fight 
looking for a cure? please, go look in the mirror 
and i’m talking to myself, trying to reach the highest shelf.
pumpin up your adrenaline, looking for some medicine 
feeling so very delicate, asking if you’re even relevant
couldn’t afford a vacation, cause you didn't know how to do the equations 
so you drink until you don’t know where you are, but can’t you see you’re a burning star?
we only burn for so long until its time to face our wrongs 
up or down, heaven or hell
you choose your own path, realizing you fell 
and once you’ve gone to the dungeon, you’re gonna wonder how to even function 
you brace yourself for the best, instead you stay falling in the crest. 
a free soul has much time to roam, maybe thats why you have trouble finding stable home
you fall to another level and then you’ll see you have met the devil 
look in his eyes and you’ll see the despise. Hes not your friend, he wants to show you the end.
Eternity lasts forever, so you must be clever.
The question is there twenty-four seven, heaven or hell,  you can choose your hotel.
Be with the worst and you’ll see the curse, but if you stick with the best you need to learn how to face the tests.
