LIFE (Paradise Denied)

[Intro: Dani Winter-Bates]
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

[Verse 1: Dani Winter-Bates & Tom Prendergast]
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

[Refrain: Dani Winter-Bates & Tom Prendergast]
This is life (Life), misery, strife
Looking for the answers, running out of time
Life (Life), misery, strife
This is life (Lifе), misery, strife
Looking for the answеrs, running out of time
Life (Life), misery, strife

[Chorus: Tom Prendergast]
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

[Verse 2: Dani Winter-Bates]
Paradise denied
Crushed by the reverie
Nowhere left to hide

[Chorus: Tom Prendergast & Dani Winter-Bates]
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
Why won't you answer me?
Staring at the dark to face these voices that keep screaming
No reality
Until you return to me

[Post-Chorus: Tom Prendergast]
Until you return to me
Until you return to me
Until you return to me

[Bridge: Tom Prendergast & Dani Winter-Bates]
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

[Outro: Dani Winter-Bates & Tom Prendergast]
'Cause this is life (Life), misery, strife
This is life (Life)
This is life (Life), misery, strife
Looking for the answers, running out of time
Life (Life), misery, strife
This is life (Life), misery, strife
Looking for the answers, running out of time
Life (Life), misery, strife
We're running out of time
