Lyrics: How Heavenly A State

Death lingered in your doorway

Awaiting invitation

Like a vampire or a neighbor

They sensed your hesitation

And your eventual acquiescence

Rained sheets of pain and anger


But I thought to myself

How heavenly a state

The acceptance of collapsing

Under unspeakable weight


The righteous indignation

Began flowing as expected

You were a question without an answer

An introspection best deflected

There was no closure in your exit

It was a perfume for the scentless

But I thought to myself

How heavenly a state


When there's no making sense

Of the past or present tense

I will breathe for you

I will breathe for you


Death lingered in your doorway

And then reached across the threshold

You grasped the hand extended

And were pulled into the unknown


How heavenly a state

How heavenly a state
