The Two Heavens

<br>A careless leper<br>Too comfortable<br>In his own world<br>To notice the older wounds<br>Have new infections<br>With new intentions<br>Darkness settled in behind me<br>Tapped me on the shoulder singing<br>Shivers to my spine<br>From the corners of my mind<br>"I`ve been wanting to remind you<br>Of everything you`ve left behind<br>And wouldn`t you, shouldn`t you<br>Remember me<br>Should you forget, I haven`t yet<br>Remember when we...<br>Almost stepped right off<br>Between the two heavens<br>One above<br>And one below<br>One last flight<br>All stars and city lights<br>One last goodbye<br>One last goodbye..."<br>She`s there when I`m alone<br>And she always seems to know<br>The stories that`ll take me<br>Back to where my comforts sleep<br>A caress with velvet paws<br>That hide her sharpened claws<br>Along the walls that time has built high<br>Searching for the blemishes<br>And I know she`s breathing murder<br>That it is folly to endure her<br>But there is sweetness in her whisper<br>"When you`ve had enough, I`ll be waiting<br>Wouldn`t you, shouldn`t you<br>Remember me<br>Should you forget, I haven`t yet<br>You know that we can always<br>Step right off<br>Between the two heavens<br>One above<br>And one below<br>One last flight<br>All stars and city lights<br>One last goodbye<br>One last goodbye..."<br>I`ve never known a life without her<br>At every turn she`s there<br>Her comfort I despise<br>But there`s a coward in me, fearing any<br>Changes for the trial<br>Hopeless in a hideaway<br>Familiar escape<br>I`ve never known a life without her<br>At every turn she`s there<br>Yesterday`s a siren<br>Singing memories so inviting<br>Sometimes reaping takes a lifetime<br>But I`m pushing on, with living life<br>Renewed in mind, I say goodbye<br>To yesterday, the siren<br>Singing memories so inviting<br>Sometimes reaping takes a lifetime<br>But I`m pushing on, with the mind of Christ<br>I say goodbye<br>And watch her die
