Great Deceivers Lyrics
"Paradise"

I've tried and I've tried, by now multiple times
To work out or divine what's lacking and wrong
With despair? I've made haste wasting time
Why darkness clouds both my eyes?
I've searched and I've searched, reworked and reworked
With my hands tightly nailed to my sides

And novels of words in my mouth
Years of hate built up in my heart
Every breath is a call to arms
With rooms upon rooms full of useless design
With a soul so empty it can no longer resign

It's why I hate what I want and what I have isn't mine
What I have was never mine, 'cause what I now have in mind

Is a blank paradise, another blonde parasite
I'm too young to be kind
I'm always falling, always falling behind in my blank paradise
A backwards paradigm, I'm too young to be kind
I'm too young to be kind
