Detour to heaven

It might not be anything 

but I shall strive to the top

The dirt shall slide but

I will claw my way up

More dirt that I taste will make me more hungry to get out

The more dirt that falls in this hole

It will build a platform all the way up

At the bottom, I will slowly lift

If there is rain, I will cling to the sides

When the wind is strong, I will steadily climb

Never will I look down for there is no bottom

I can see her in the mist

Her shadow shows me some light

Remembering that kiss when the days turned into night

A haunting apparition I can see

Atop the mountain high, inside myself I'm finally free

I learned...the more dirt that fell on me

The higher my ground got and 

the firmer I stood

Every rock that hit me hard

I stood on top of it

To get a little higher out of this hole

Almost to the top

I have learned my lessons well

I know she waits for me

The fastest way to heaven

Is a detour through hell
