Paradise
Tear the pictures off the wall
Try to end it all
Hear the screaming down the hall
As paradises fall.
Redemption from this rage,
A battle up on stage
Like a lion in his cage
She is fazed.
Gazing to her mother,
She knows she never loved her.
Stab a knife into her father,
For raping his own daughter.
Burning fires through their hearts
This family's torn apart.
And there's nothing we can do
For Her, Him, Me or You
. . . We're confused.
One stands above a bridge
Sleeping, are her kids.
Drop a stone into the water
Her face is getting hotter.
Will she jump into her death?
Or turn around instead?
Her family sheds wet tears
For all the wasted years.
The boy kills all his dreams
For obliterating schemes
Using people, LET THEM HURT
Throw their feelings in the dirt.
A younger girl feels so alone.
She never had a home.
Some people hurt her deep.
That she can hardly speak.
Crimson is her blood.
A dripping endless love.
And paradises fall
Were they ever there at all??
There's no tears that we can weep.
So close your eyes and go to sleep.
In the morning we will rise.
With itchy blood shot eyes.
And we'll remember all this pain,
With only happiness to gain...
... We'll never be the same.
... We'll never be the same.
