Paradise Road

I've believed in you for so long As if I was some kind of idiot I can’t stand being so angry at you You have helped me…. I've been crying out tears Of shame…shame… All of the memories spent with you I don’t feel like I belong I’ve let you down by my insanity You grieved for me…but I’m too late Watch me die…tonight… I have so many things to look forward to… Shadows haunt me everywhere I walk And I feel so incomplete…running swiftly with my feet I shake the sand off of them… I dreamt of islands in my mind… All of the memories spent with you I don’t feel like I belong I’ve not let you down by my vanity You grieved for me…but I’m too late Watch me die…today… I spiral up and down…here and there… Music purifies my ears And I’ve lost touch of paradise The past remains the same…same old crap all over again It rapes my mind and puts me in a scary place All of the memories spent with you I don’t feel like I belong I’ve let you down by my insanity You grieved for me…but I’m too late Watch me die…this time… I roam in shadows… and dream of red roses, blooming gently on the palm of my hand I belong in my own house and yet I feel like a fly, swapped on the wall Craft me delight, God – that’s all We all face our own fears…clothe me with Your love From up above… Vibrant instruments heal my soul again… Run with me to the forest for a time… That sweet day…that Kingdom will set us free From blasphemed bondage I have this pain in the bottom of my stomach… It churns…oh it does burn… All of the memories spent with you I don’t feel like I belong I’ve let you down by my insanity You grieved for me…but I'm in a clean slate Watch me reach to paradise road
