Phantom Regret by Jim

You are tuned to Dawn FM
The middle of nowhere on your dial
So sit back and unpack
You may be here a while

Now that all future plans have been postponed
And it's time to look back on the things you thought you owned
Do you remember them well?
Were you high or just stoned?

And how many grudges did you take to your grave?
When you weren't liked or followed, how did you behave?
Was it off in a dissonant chord you were strumming?
Were you ever in tune with the song life was humming?

If pain's living on when your body's long gone
And your phantom regret hasn't let it go yet
You may not have died in the way that you must
All specters are haunted by their own lack of trust

When you're all out of time, there's nothing but space
No hunting, no gathering, no nations, no race
And Heaven is closer than those tears on your face
And the purple rain falls where I'll bathe in its grace

Heaven's for those who let go of regret
And you have to wait here when you're not all there yet
But you could be there by the end of this song
Where The Weeknd's so good, and he plays all week long
Bang a gong, get it on

And if your broken heart's heavy when you step on the scale
It'll be lighter than air when they pull back the veil
Consider the flowers, they don't try to look right
They just open their petals and turn to the light

Are you listening real close? Heaven's not that, it's this
It's the depth of this moment, you don't reach for bliss
God knows life is chaos, but he made one thing true
You gotta unwind your mind, train your soul to align
And dance 'til you find that divine boogaloo

In other words, you gotta be Heaven
To see Heaven
May peace be with you
