Lyrics
Why are you so sure
That there's something more
If the afterlife is real
Is it worth dying for?
Why are you so sure
Heaven waits for us?
And all our lonely souls
Will be riding on a bus...
Bound for Heaven
I wish I shared your confidence
Bound for heaven
To proclaim our innocence
Why are you so sure?
Or was it all a front...
Hoping to convince yourself
That it's what you really want
Bound for Heaven
I wish I shared your confidence
Bound for heaven
To proclaim our innocence
Dying has a way of making everyone religious
If I was in your place
I'd be down upon my knees
But what of those who say
God is all within us
Does that mean that
He is even part of your disease?
