Lyrics

Paradise
Yeah right
If your a god I'm the man with the headlight
Just a slob with the same old new pain
Wet it with the red stain blood clot rain
Even if the odds
Forget to forgive a forget me not
Thought I had it in the bag
But I'm always getting caught
Always getting lost cause I'm always getting caught
I gotta big mouth and I gotta black heart

We watch smoke erupt as it fills up the air
(On the top of Mt. Vesuvius)
Just like rain the ash brings a sense of despair
(Pray to God to have mercy on all’ us)

We eat from grape vines
We are the human gods
We are the divine
The evens of the odds
Nothing can go wrong in paradise
The island made for the mighty fine

We watch smoke erupt as it fills up the air
(On the top of Mt. Vesuvius)
Just like rain the ash brings a sense of despair
(Pray to God to have mercy on all’ us)

Suddenly, we’re on the beach
I hear you scream, you call my name
And I do the same but you’re not answering
Dear god, why aren’t you answering me?

Your dead
From the lesson that you never learned
Take me instead
Said the mocking bird
Immature
And I shouldn't but they must have heard
If you don't leave this town
Then you'll all fucking burn

Where is the resolve?
Do we get back up when we fall?
Is to live in Peace and Harmony
A pipe dream after all?

We watch smoke erupt as it fills up the air
(On the top of Mt. Vesuvius)
Just like rain the ash brings a sense of despair
(Pray to God to have mercy on all’ us)
