Paradise.

once upon a year gone by

she saw herself give in

every time she closed her eyes

she saw what could have been

well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds

when covers tucked in tight

funny when the bottom drops

how she forgets to fight... to fight



and it's one more day in paradise

one more day in paradise



as darkness quickly steals the light

that shined within her eyes

she slowly swallows all her fear

and soothes her mind with lies

well all she wants and all she needs

are reasons to survive

a day in which the sun will take

her artificial light... her light



and it's one more day in paradise

one more day in paradise

it's one more day in paradise

one last chance to feel alright... alright



don't pretend to hold it in just let it out

don't pretend to hold it in just push it out

don't you try to hold it in just let it out and

don't you try to hold it in you hold it in



and it's one more day in paradise

one more day in paradise



once upon a year gone by

she saw herself give in

every time she closed her eyes

she saw what could have been

as darkness quickly steals the light

and soothes her mind with lies
