LIFE (Paradise Denied)

I’ve been hearing whispers
That will chill you to the bone
Forced into the darkness
That I now call my home
The only light I ever had
Was the bridges that I burned
Now I'm walking back through fire
With the scars that I have earned

How did I end up being such a broken man
I thought I had it figured out
I had a plan
And now I lost it all
But I don’t know where I am
I hope for the end

I’ve been hiding for so long

This is life, misery strife
Looking for the answers
Running out of time
Life, misery strife

This is life, misery strife
Looking for the answers
Running out of time
Life, misery strife

I’ve been waiting on the echoes to answer me
Staring at the dark to face these voices that keep screaming
No reality
Until you return to me

Paradise denied
Crushed by the reverie
Nowhere left to hide

I’ve been waiting on the echoes to answer me
Staring at the dark to face these voices that keep screaming
No reality
‘Till you return to me
Why won’t you answer me
Staring at the dark to face these voices that keep screaming
No reality
Until you return to me

I can’t fight these chemicals
All these questions Unable to answer
The scars untraceable
As the fear grows, as the fears grows
As I break free from this mould
From this cell I imprison myself in
This lifelong overdose
The price that we pay

This is life, misery strife
Looking for the answers
Running out of time
