Oct 2014
walking through the streets,
lost in the sea, of controversy
working by day  
blacked out by night.
looking for the binge,
that’ll cover the scars in front of me

walking through the streets,
under the lights - dark hiding the fight.
alone, by choice  
not mine, your’s it seems.
but i’ll be lost come morning -
hiding from the feelings you fed me


lead me to heaven
but I'm sure I won't get in
your heart and mine
isn’t enough to make up for my sins

lead me to heaven
but i’m sure i won’t get in
your heart and mine
isn’t enough to make up for my sins


lost at sea,
adrift in the mess i’ve seen
can’t you see the man i’ve become?
just a distant memory of who I was -
putting the dirt behind, me
working to be - clean

under heaven’s gleam -
running from the fight,
the light - you once showed me
as distant as the stars,
I wish to be  
swimming in come morning’s light


lead me to heaven
but i’m sure i won’t get in
your heart and mine
isn’t enough to make up for my sins

lead me to heaven
but i’m sure i won’t get in
your heart and mine
isn’t enough to make up for my sins


but i’m sure,
the closest i’ll get to heaven’s grace -
is the beauty in your eyes,
and the heart in your soul.
lead me to heaven,
let me stare your eyes, just once more.
