[Chorus 1]
Paradise
World without end
Hopelessness
Sinks into the earth
[Chorus 2]
Crying life
Kaleidoscope
Hopelessness
The shifting beauty
[Verse 1]
My mother's love
Her gentle touch
My father's hand
Rests on my throat
[Verse 2]
Hopelessness
Myself, I'm here, not here
As a point
Of consciousness
As a point
[Chorus 1]
Paradise
World without end
Hopelessness
Sinks into the earth
[Chorus 3]
My crying life, my crying life
Kaleidoscope (Without escape)
Hopelessness
Sinks into the earth
[Verse 3]
Staring at myself
I feel giant and trapped
Seemingly
Without escape
[Verse 4]
I'm stuffed inside
My eternity
I'm here, not here
As a point of consciousness
[Chorus 1]
Paradise
World without end
Hopelessness
Sinks into the earth
[Chorus 4]
My crying life, my crying life
Kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope (Dream against me)
Hopelessness
Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless (Dream against me)
[Interlude]
Here, myself, here, here
[Outro]
Paradise
World without end
Hopelessness
Myself, I'm here, not here
As a point of consciousness
