I’m counting down the hours ‘til I see you face to face
The tracing of your outline is haunting every frame
A lapse in my perception’s got me questioning my faith
Now I’m upside down, the world’s turned ‘round
The sky is at my feet
The sirens in my sleep, alive in every dream
You took a part of me I can’t replace
The tenet that you keep
I sacrifice, you profit
Is this what you call a paradise?
Confined to a fragile state of mind
We’re intertwined by fears we live and breathе
The world you know is changing, I can see it in your face
You’re staring at my outlinе, you can’t see the bigger frame
I’ve set my own direction but you’re stuck in your old ways
Now your one-track mind has left you blind
I’ve made my offering
The sirens in my sleep, alive in every dream
You took a part of me I can’t replace
The tenet that you keep
I sacrifice, you profit
Is this what you call a paradise?
Over and over again
Scars that you could never mend
Eyes roll back into my head
Watch as this comes to an end
Now you’ve taken more than everything
I’d do it all again just to watch you suffocate
Is this how I choose to make my peace?
The sirens in my sleep, alive in every dream
You took a part of me I can’t replace
The tenet that you keep
I sacrifice, you profit
Is this what you call a paradise?
You took away a part of me
The tenet that you keep
I sacrifice, you profit
Is this what you call a paradise?
Confined to a fragile state of mind
We’re intertwined by fears we live and breathe
Over and over again
Scars that you could never mend
Eyes roll back into my head
Watch as this comes to an end
