I woke up one morning with my insides in a knot I froze to death from icy sweat, my body getting hot And an angel stood beside me and he whispered in my ear "For every day you misbehave I'll take another year" So I stumbled to get out, empty bottles on the floor And was aiming for my city as I crashed out through the door I hurried out only to find I was a single soul Everything was silent but a hellish belling knoll The angel stood before me and cackled in my face "In all your wildest fantasies, this here is the place!" But here were no burning rivers or pillars made of fire, The pain that came and scarred the most was from my own desires What I wanted most in life was nowhere to be found And the landscape that surrounded me was empty all around I knew I'd never die again and would dwell here endlessly, No one to keep me company and no drugs to keep my sanity I woke up the next morning with my insides in a knot I froze to death from icy sweat, my body getting hot. And an angel stood beside me and she whispered in my ear "The only way to stay away is to give up all your fear"
