about

The Heaven You Built

lyrics

Bursting through the light
first one of your kind
all you need is time

Freed of all restraints
your forever place
hidden from your face

Even if you tried
have you got a mind?
Have you walked a line?

'Cause what's sure right now
is you're headed
to the heaven you built
just to dread it
No you ain't what you said
when you meant it
'Cause you're always on the road

And you're always on the road
to a place you'll never go
And you're always on the road
to a place you'll never go

Have you hit the wall?
Now what is involved
in doing the reverse?

Grinding all the time
Grinding in the mind
Rest a little while

Even if you tried
have you used your time?
Have you walked a line?

'Cause what's sure right now
is you're headed
to the heaven you built
just to dread it
No you ain't what you said
when you meant it
'Cause you're always on the road

And you're always on the road
to a place you'll never go
And you're always on the road
to a place you'll never go

The mind is not controlled
where it may never go
And you're always on the road
to a place where the darkness becomes
malice becomes violence becomes weakness
becomes cowardice becomes emptiness becomes
readiness becomes willingness becomes eagerness
becomes selfishness becomes avarice becomes narcissus
becomes the very darkness where you started
Some place you'll never go
