Our home we can't deny
Has shed her tear for sin
Eternal days that call your name
Are lost into the wind
It's getting hard to breathe
And harder to think
Of where we could be by now
But we should be dead
This time around
We should be dead this time around
Oh no, oh yeah
Welcome to Paradise
Here's your Paradise
Another trip around the sun
Watch the forest recede
Displacing the many souls
That were here before you and me
It's getting hard to breathe
And harder to wonder
Where we could be by now
But we should be dead
This time around
We should be dead this time around
Oh no, oh yeah
Welcome to Paradise
Here's your Paradise
Smoke has filled the toxic air
For 91 long days
All I need is some reprieve
From our reckless ways
Can't you see all the loss
Is heedless and it's cold
There's a place down below
For your very soul
It's getting hard to breathe
And harder to think
Of where we could be by now
But we should be dead
This time around
We should be dead this time around
Oh no, oh yeah
Welcome to Paradise
Here's your Paradise
This is your Paradise
This is your Paradise, oh yeah
Oh no, welcome to Paradise
Here's your Paradise

Failed forces arise from the dust
Of disappointed youth
They call to arms the unknown
They come and go taking life
To fuel their neon fire
That runs around your head
Oceans rise and fall
Like a misdirected moon
That sinks too soon
Soon your eyes will shine
With the light of a thousand suns
It'll shine on and on
The ice runs hot in your blood
Like a devil in disguise
Or a moth to a flame
Things will never change
He only wants to be reborn
But sometimes fate won't take the chance
On intention misunderstood
Failure comes and goes
But this one's here to stay
Do you care anyway
We had hope but now it's lost
In vanity's lust for gold
And now I hope for something more
With meaning tossed to the side
Like we never learned to care
For each other
A million years until the sun
Blows us all away
Now look at what you've done

Try to get away
From the neon lighting
The home that we once built
Is water in the sand
Sinking underneath
Everything we cling to
We're drowning in the deep
So let's try to start anew
Oh, just so you know
Everything we touch
Will always seem to fade away and die
There's no escaping, it's just you and I
And destruction of humankind
So go and grab your clothes
And the will of resurrection
Just try to shut your eyes
And know we'll be there soon
It's time to see this place
Fade into the distance
Our future lies ahead
Beyond this star-scathed world
Oh, just so you know
Everything we touch
Will always seem to fade away and die
There's no escaping, it's just you and I
And destruction of humankind

These Chains
06:08
|

Along the lost horizon
There's a distant shot at freedom
Breaking down the borders
That keep my heart in line
Pushing on the mountains
Leaves swell until they're tangled
Busting through the boundaries
Implanted years ago
Chained and stuck in motion
Our intentions are revealed
I realize that hope
Won't keep my hands clean
These chains may be forgotten
But they cannot be forsaken
Until the day comes
When their rattle turns to dust
Now the dust turns to quicksand
And we cannot escape
Destined to return to
The desert of our defeat
Moments turn to minutes
And minutes turn to memories
Not a day goes by
That won't leave us behind
We have to make a decision
Do we stay or do we fight
Remain with the ordinary
Or try to leave it behind
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
