Kingdom in our Hearts
the kingdom in our hearts
displayed like a trophy on the wall
leering faces throwing darts
as we pass them in the hall
there is no future unforeseen
no mistake in the past unmade
human beings left alone
each action a reaction devoid
of suffering there is peace
with hatred there is love
and with the world at least
I know there’s a heaven above
sixteen channels and nothing on
just the voice of the world droning on
transiting messages to asteroids
a chance at god behind such lies
stepping through this portal chance
last resort for a broken palace
deemed unworthy in my own eyes
watching as the future dies
displayed like a trophy on the wall
leering faces throwing darts
as we pass them in the hall
there is no future unforeseen
no mistake in the past unmade
human beings left alone
each action a reaction devoid
of suffering there is peace
with hatred there is love
and with the world at least
I know there’s a heaven above
sixteen channels and nothing on
just the voice of the world droning on
transiting messages to asteroids
a chance at god behind such lies
stepping through this portal chance
last resort for a broken palace
deemed unworthy in my own eyes
watching as the future dies
