I sat in my room
And looked upon Hell
I hated it there
But I knew it too wellI went to a place
That claimed to be Heaven
But the angels seemed
To enjoy my depressionAnd while being judged
at the pearly gates
I saw her face
And it sealed my fateA frightened child
Doomed to Hell
When things were rough
I'd never tellI sit and wonder
Why it took so long
To see it as it was
And know I was wrongThe angels are demons
And god is a scam
But I worshiped that Heaven
With all that I amHell was a place
And I'd been there before
But there were no ghouls
Or monsters with hornsHell kept the angels
And hell had a God
The place that I knew of as Heaven
Was notHeaven instead
Ceased to exist
It wasn't at home
And it sure wasn't thisHeaven is a place
We make up in our minds
A place with great fortune
A world that is kindSuch a dream
Cannot be real
People are mean
People still feelBut one can hope
And one can try
To lead the way
To a bluer skyBut in the end
The real Hell
Is a place on Earth
We all know wellBecause in the end
We suffer the same fate
The Heaven and Hell
Are the ones you make
