I often think I'm more afraid of heaven than I am of hell

Eternity

Lights blur down the runway
Until life un-sights my eyes
The flash before, the desp'rate roar
Blood pressure quickly skies
And I wonder if the distant shore
Is just another lie.
Darling, though your eyes should seep
Though your fears should quickly steep
Ignore the brewing, rumbling deep
And look to leave the lights behind.
Ignore the doubts that follow you
Oh love, ignore the skies
Ignore the clouding weep around
Though it strip you to the rind.
Just keep your eyes affixed below
Just keep one thought in mind
That all the dreams you careful stow
Are now sown amid the grind.
For we were never meant to soar
As though heaven were an open door
So baby, dry your eyes
And spurn the runway evermore
For some things should never fly.
