Heaven When I'm Gone

I'm looking for God...in the faces on the road,
Miracles pass me by, living with angels, fighting the demons side by side.
And i have created and destroyed gifts from above.
See me as Your innocent son of original sin, when I need love.
The gates aren't far away as the evidence weighs in.
Sit me down with the saints and you and I’ll tell you my name and the people I've been.

Walk with me now, silent shrouds of ages hearts open fall down,
In the darkness I’ll be found again.
Picking locks and closing doors, it’s not like I've never been in danger before
Now I rest my eyes like a baby just born,
I'm gone. I'm in heaven now.

Rest easy, don’t waste your prayers on me
Just love me like the pictures in the magazines you read,
It’s not as fatal as it seems.
The soul yields the body’s whims, ignore reason and vagrancy steps in
Foolin’ me, foolin’ you, I’ll be good again, dead.

The circus ends, new life begins,
The debt is paid square with the house again,
Through the races I've been broken and bent
Thought you were my friend, but I'm alone at the end

I'm gone.
I'm in heaven now.

Are you scared of being alone? 
Open your eyes, open your heart.
I'm afraid to go in the dark.

This does not compute in my brain. 
Don’t want to be a tragedy will you save me from the world? 
It’s a favor it’s the least that I deserve
All I wanna know today, tell me the truth, I wanna know, will it hurt to go that way?

I am flawed
Was that heaven’s light I saw?
No stay of execution, injection comes at dawn.
This is my restitution, Oh, God, will you help me if I’m wrong?
I’ll be in heaven when I’m gone.
