Heaven's Calling

Heaven's Calling

A Poem by Travis Prino

Haven't you heard yet?

I've been bleeding for a while

nothing can save me

no, nothing can save me now

so don't hold your breath

cause you'll be waiting for quite some time

nothing can save you

I'm the only one who can save you now


we both know

how this is gonna go

so save us the trouble and slit your throat

cause we both know

how I let this go

so I'll save us the trouble and tie the rope

around my heart

till I lay lifeless in the dark

and everything we wanted falls apart


when did you hear it?

when did your heart finally break in two?

nothing could save you

but I tried to save you now

I was holding my breath

cause I didn't want to die for you

but nothing could save me

no, nothing could save me anyhow


we both know

how this is gonna go

so save us the trouble and slit your throat

cause we both know

how I let this go

so I'll save us the trouble and tie the rope

around my heart

till I lay lifeless in the dark

and everything we wanted falls apart


we could have made it with a little concentration

we could have avoided this mangled devastation

we could have made it with a little more devotion

we could have changed this negative emotion

we could have made it with a little concentration

we could have avoided this mangled devastation

we could have made it with a little more devotion

we could have changed this negative emotion

but we ended up lying here

now heaven's calling out to us dear


we both know

how this is gonna go

so save us the trouble and slit your throat

cause we both know

how I let this go

so I'll save us the trouble and tie the rope

around my heart

till I lay lifeless in the dark

and everything we wanted falls apart


you shouldn't have died for me when I died for you

cause what good would that do

you shouldn't have died for me when I died for you

cause what good does that do

but I'll see you again when it's through.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
