Everyone Was There

I took a walk to heaven, and every one was there
I saw Jesus and my wife, and everyone that cared 
Two cherubs guided me in, my baby and my niece 
Robed in silks of white, they had claimed I left in peace
Fret no more they pleaded, propelled by wings that let them fly
No pain, no loss, no grief, essentially no reason to cry

I took a stroll through heaven, and everyone was there
No division of sinners and saints, not a soul was judged unfair
Every felicity committed to memory would consume me in the end
For there would be no struggle, no problems left to mend.
Everything was clean and everything was white,
Eternities stretched out past the horizon, until someone hit the lights.

I took a walk through earth, and everyone was there
Cheating their way through life, carrying on with out a care
Everyone claims to be selfless in a world that couldn't give a fuck
Making it rain, or making ends meet chasing the almighty buck
Walking down familiar streets, familiar people and crusty leaves
Everybody you'd care to meet, every one sleeps but no one dreams

I took a walk through earth, and everyone was there
In a world that was structured through fear, no one will admit they're scared
Turning their back on the harm they've caused, ignoring all their problems
Expecting more than what they're willing to give, complaining about their karma
I hauled ass through this town all night long and made it to the riverside
I lit my cigarette and sighed, thankful to see the sun rise

I took a walk to hell, and everyone was there
Crowded as hell in the eternal abyss, the smell of pleasure filled the air
I walked over to the bar, asked for the best of what ever they got
I took a sip and realized that hell really isn't that hot
I spoke with lots of family caught up with lots of friends
Reminisced of times both good and bad, with a bowl that never ends

I took a stroll through hell, and every one was there
Not dressed to the 9's or worrying about time, in hell they don't even care
All your desires turn to options, as your not concerned with right and wrong
The devil is one hell of a guy, gives great advice and sings songs.
None of this is even true, as I lay here 6ft deep
The only truth I'll ever learn is the darkness as I sleep
