 My eyes sting with unshed tears, 

My heart aches with heartbreak through the years, 

The barrier breaks and tears flow through, 

I close my eyes and try to feel anew, 

My arm burns like fire as a trail of blood flows from my wrist,

 I hope that when I leave I'll be missed,

 My blood turns ice with the thought of death, 

Time stands still as I breath in my last breath,

 I welcome the darkness as it creeps in, 

And I ask God to forgive me for every last sin.


 I smile as the world turns white,

 And my pain vanishes into the night, 

Siloheuttes form, 

Completely unordinary, out of the norm, 

My lord appears, 

And I am relinquished of all my fears, 

I think about every last want or bid, 

And thank the lord for all he did. 

 As I stand here upon the ground, 

I manage to take the slightest glance around, 

Heaven is faded and I'm mortal once more,

 I look around; I notice a door, 

Jesus smiles, but leaves it open, 

And for once I haven't trapped my hope in.


 I walk back into my life,

 Struggling against temptation and strife, 

My family is happy and so am I, 

I'm the only one who hasn't a cry.


 People say you can't see God and live, 

Explain it to me because I did.
