Paradise

I am death I am freedom  I am crying on my knees
I see glory I see sunlight I see him as I kneel down and plead 
He was here knocking at my wall
Had I known life was paradise i would’ve given it my all
Had I known love was temporary I would’ve averted my gaze
Had I  experienced the feeling’s of amazement I would’ve waited out my days
Had I known death was paradise I wouldn’t have wished it away
Had I known paradise was pain I wouldn’t have pleaded it to stay 
Had i known death would come a knocking I would have swung opened my door
Had I known that this was my paradise I would have thrown all my worries against the floor
Had I known I was living in euphoria  I wouldn’t have minded your gore
Had I known I was alive I would have lived my life a little more
Tho I knew it was coming it 
Didn’t prepare me for the fact that I will love him after seeing his wrong
It didn’t prepare me for the paradise that speaks to me through their songs
It’s 
Sparkling,glitter, crystals the paradise I signed up for
Peace and pain revoked is the paradise that I adore
Had I known wynter had crept up I wouldn’t have waited till dawn
Had I known I was pining for sleep I wouldn’t have ignored my yawn
Had I known this was the “great paradise” 
I would have closed my eyes so long ago.
Yet when I asked you if this was the climax of my life and you told me no
Had I known death was life I would have peacefully went to sleep 
Though for now I will sit in my paradise yearning to be freed
