Eyedea Paradise Lyrics

Paradise Lyrics

What a beautiful world, so fragile and fertile



Pain filled the void when boy met girl



He’s a puppet to nature, one year later



Now so deeply and sickly in love it makes him hate her



The average romanticized American relationship



Sinks, capsized when either side becomes a slave to it



Conditioned, dependent, afraid to be alone



He needs that feeling that he can’t create all on his own



He despises the fact she has a life outside of him



It drives him crazy to think she’s not insanely consumed with him



Give her the guilt-trip and maybe she’ll quit living,



To stay behind his prison walls and lose all individualism



Well this is happiness, masochistic torture



Played by the decadent, craved of affection



The needle digs deep to push contentment through his bloodstream



And drown out hollow, the pothole of a junkie



If he could only hear her sing, he wouldn’t want to break her wings



But emptiness has such a warm, subtle sting



She makes up for what he lacks, trapped,



He can’t imagine life without someone like that







Chorus:



We’ve rediscovered the long-lost art of dying



Only to lonely resent angels for flying



Twisted, living off of each other’s sickness like parasites



This is paradise







We’ve rediscovered the long-lost art of dying



Only to lonely resent angels for flying



Addicted, afraid to take control of my own life



This is paradise







Verse 2:



What a beautiful world, emotionally destroyed



(______?________) when girl met boy



Between several breakups and plenty relapses



Routine bred-comfort led to serious attachment



Now every once in a while she forgets to breathe



Terrified of losing him, paradise is misery



Too much faith in the life-saving knight in shining armour



Now her knight’s noticing the scars she can’t hide any longer



But they were her story way before he was



It was gross hope to think he could heal such deep cuts



At first it felt so right but after one too many fights,



He turned out that hallway light and all the wonder turned to spite



So they sleep in the same bed with guns to each others’ heads



Dead the romance, boiling the blood that painted roses red



Suffering from post-honeymoon disease, bleached through



His whole existence, she’ll die if he decides to leave



Addicted to the way she feels when they spend time together



Detouring the now in a childish attempt to find forever



Despite the fact they hold each other heart to heart



You can’t be that close to somebody without being so far apart







Chorus







Silence, the most obscure sound I’ve ever heard



Those lonely, giant spaces in between your every word



And maybe, I’m totally crazy for holding on but



Just cus I’m insane, don’t mean that I’m wrong



Now that you’re gone I can’t sleep at night



I barely even function right, my memory’s on overdrive



Too hungry and too cold to cry



Miss the companionship we both took for granted



The way you helped me manage, the partnership that vanished



But I don’t expect you to stay chained by the ankle, 



There’s so much world to see so, fly free my angel



I’m dying without you, but it’s teaching me to live



Heaven ain’t something someone else can give



It’s all inside of me







Chorus







There’s so much world to see



What’s stopping you from flying free?
