"Paradise" lyrics
(feat. M.I.M.E)
There's an old, empty house that sits on top of a hill
The windows are shackled, the air is thin, once you're inside the walls close in
We grew up alone, we grew up too fast, in that house it's sink or swim
When you fight to survive, you quickly learn that everybody wants something
I, oh I changed my name
I'd run and I'd run and I'd
Hide in a secret place
They'd never, they'd never
Find it, not for the weak minded, show me all your scars
I'll be delighted, don't you know that
I turned my back on grace
And rule darkened paradise
Run and I'd, run and I'd hide
Just down the hall, broke down kids and we bound to fall (Yeah)
Never woulda thought I would astound you all, I thought I hid back deep till I found it all
I gotta long list of my problems (Problems), pack a day, tryna solve 'em (Solve 'em)
Gotta dark past, I got park thoughts, so I pop pills to dissolve 'em
Tryna find a house that I call home, I remember how it felt, I was all lone
Ya talking to myself in a cell phone, ringing I been calling out for help been in hell long (Too long)
Uh, met the devil, I paid the price, found God but no slave to Christ
Blind before but I see the light, I bought a one-way ticket into paradise
I, oh I changed my name
I'd run and I'd run and I'd
Hide in a secret place
They'd never, they'd never
Find it, not for the weak minded, show me all your scars
I'll be delighted, don't you know that
I turned my back on grace
And rule darkened paradise
Run and I'd, run and I'd hide
I've heard time heals everything
That broken down house got a new coat of paint
I still feel it everywhere
The walls closing in, that unbreathable air
Are they so different, your house and mine?
Both have their secrets buried inside
When we grow up, we all fight to survive
'Cause everybody wants something
Run and I'd, run and I'd hide
Bought a one way ticket into Paradise
The windows are shackled, the air is thin, once you're inside the walls close in
We grew up alone, we grew up too fast, in that house it's sink or swim
When you fight to survive, you quickly learn that everybody wants something
I, oh I changed my name
I'd run and I'd run and I'd
Hide in a secret place
They'd never, they'd never
Find it, not for the weak minded, show me all your scars
I'll be delighted, don't you know that
I turned my back on grace
And rule darkened paradise
Run and I'd, run and I'd hide
Just down the hall, broke down kids and we bound to fall (Yeah)
Never woulda thought I would astound you all, I thought I hid back deep till I found it all
I gotta long list of my problems (Problems), pack a day, tryna solve 'em (Solve 'em)
Gotta dark past, I got park thoughts, so I pop pills to dissolve 'em
Tryna find a house that I call home, I remember how it felt, I was all lone
Ya talking to myself in a cell phone, ringing I been calling out for help been in hell long (Too long)
Uh, met the devil, I paid the price, found God but no slave to Christ
Blind before but I see the light, I bought a one-way ticket into paradise
I, oh I changed my name
I'd run and I'd run and I'd
Hide in a secret place
They'd never, they'd never
Find it, not for the weak minded, show me all your scars
I'll be delighted, don't you know that
I turned my back on grace
And rule darkened paradise
Run and I'd, run and I'd hide

'Cause everybody wants something
Run and I'd, run and I'd hide
Bought a one way ticket into Paradise
