Paradise Now

[Verse 1]
How many times does it take
To realize the lightning will strike you
How many times will you fake
For you to just get into
Sometimes leaving is the best thing
When all you know are grudges
This time think twice before you swing
Did you ever understand what love is?

[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
Why don’t you open the blinds?
See something other than thyme
I felt so lost, I
Though I’m near paradise now

[Verse 2]
It shouldn’t have took you something just to get up
Pieces fall of what it was made of
Coming down in with the rain
A long lasting hoax of pain

[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
Why don’t you open the blinds?
See something other than thyme
I felt so lost, I
Though I’m near paradise now

[Verse 3]
You dug holes in my ground
You were an exasperating sound
There are things better unsaid
But I’ll speak so everyone can see the red
In you was nothing but a fraud
Make it seem like your so soft
You live in a museum of oath
Just like how I kept you like one
Two clowns back and fourth
“I talked to you for fun”
Lies shine brighter than the sun
It would be so sad if I told your centerpiece
But who? cause their all side pieces
It be better if we left each other alone

[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
Why don’t you open the blinds?
See something other than thyme
I felt so lost, I
Though I’m near paradise now
