I am heaven and hell
I wonder how many people will see me cry
I hear the footsteps of my past
I want to be the difference in life
I am heaven and hell

I pretend to smile for your entertainment
I feel the weight of all my decisions crushing me
I touch the portal between life and death
I cry the pain of the missing
I am heaven and hell

I understand the sorrow in the sunsets
I say death is a part of life
I dream I could live underwater
I try to satisfy everyone
I hope people see me
I am heaven and hell
