False Paradise

Cut me off, cut me out
I'm everything that you feared you wanted
Cut me off, cut me out
These ropes around my neck

I am not even here anymore
My mind has been replaced
Left wide open and vulnerable
I want it all erased

It's best to leave it alone
Let it heal, let it learn, let it grow
But I'm the passionate type
I never quit, but never can live to the hype

Take my hand and fall down with me
I swear I'll never let go

We're slipping under
We're tranquilized
In false paradise
Trade your blood for lies
It's now or never
No thinking twice
What we believe in
Won't believe in us

Secrets living inside of my throat
I constantly decay
Words left silent are choking me up
Can't end the suffering

I couldn't leave it alone
On my tongue, in the dark, on its own
Aren't we the fortunate ones
With what we know, and nothing but this loaded gun

Author of my life
Read me the title
Happy, sad, depressed, suicidal

Author of my life
Tell me the truth
Am I emotionless or was it my corrupted youth

False paradise
We paid the price
