2010 Death

Heaven is no good if you’re scared of heights

I don’t want to fall into the night.
Clouds can’t hold the weight of my soul.
Heaven is no good if you’re scared of heights.

I came up here because it looked bright.
Looking down, the sky is blacker than coal.
I don’t want to fall into the night.

I was lured like a moth to the light.
Now the clouds thunder and roll.
Heaven is no good if you’re scared of heights.

The view from here is a terrible sight.
What if I step into a hole?
I don’t want to fall into the night.

My whole body is shaking in fright,
Standing on this unsteady knoll.
Heaven is no good if you’re scared of heights.

Living up here doesn’t seem right.
What did I do to deserve this toll?
I don’t want to fall into the night.
Heaven is no good if you’re scared of heights.
