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
