Heaven Bound - Ryan Kelly

The tiles are cold,

nipping at my feet,

I just want to be asleep.

I’m ten years old.

Another night assault,

Is it really all my fault?

He’s heaven bound,

but he’s closer to inferno

in that hell that only i know

God’s own kind.

Surely they must be mistaken

when its innocence he’s taken.

Can’t tell a soul.

Like a dirty little secret,

I was warned I had to keep it.

His holy grave.

Surely there he’ll get his sentence,

but too late for my repentance

He’s heaven bound,

but he’s closer to inferno

in that hell that only I know.

Gods own kind.

Surely they must be mistaken,

when its innocence he’s taken.

I wish that his grave would take my pain.

I’d bury it there and start again.

For memories like that don’t fade away.

That ten-year old boy still cries today.

He’s heaven bound,

but he’s closer to inferno

in that hell that only i know

God’s own kind

Surely they must be mistaken

when its innocence he’s taken

I don’t blame them all,

but those who eyes were blind

thought to leave this wreck behind.

The years aren’t kind.

Will he ever let me be,

this pillar of my community

He’s heaven bound,

but he’s closer to inferno

in that hell that only I know.

God’s own kind.

Surely they must be mistaken,

when its innocence he’s taken.

He’s heaven bound,

but he’s closer to inferno

in that hell that only I know.

God’s own kind.

Surely they must be mistaken,

when its innocence he’s taken.

He’s heaven bound,

but he’s closer to inferno

in that hell that only I know.

God’s own kind.

Surely they must be mistaken,

cause its innocence he’s taken.
