Heaven is the real Hell

I sat in my room
And looked upon Hell
I hated it there
But I knew it too well

I went to a place
That claimed to be Heaven
But the angels seemed
To enjoy my depression

And while being judged
at the pearly gates
I saw her face
And it sealed my fate

A frightened child
Doomed to Hell
When things were rough
I'd never tell

I sit and wonder
Why it took so long
To see it as it was
And know I was wrong

The angels are demons
And god is a scam
But I worshiped that Heaven
With all that I am

Hell was a place
And I'd been there before
But there were no ghouls
Or monsters with horns

Hell kept the angels
And hell had a God
The place that I knew of as Heaven
Was not

Heaven instead
Ceased to exist
It wasn't at home
And it sure wasn't this

Heaven is a place
We make up in our minds
A place with great fortune
A world that is kind

Such a dream
Cannot be real
People are mean
People still feel

But one can hope
And one can try
To lead the way
To a bluer sky

But in the end
The real Hell
Is a place on Earth
We all know well

Because in the end
We suffer the same fate
The Heaven and Hell
Are the ones you make
