Paradise Is Burning

Paradise Is Burning - Outline in Color

So was it all for nothing

All the hurt we've carried all these years

Will we ever stop running

From the hands on the saints

Of all of our fears

The memories we smothered

With oceans of tears

Will we ever not see the monster in the mirror

The same one we're falling in love with

The world won't stop turning

So we just find ways to pass the time

Paradise is burning

And we can't stop it no matter how hard we try

The ashes of our souls will swallow the sky

So run for your life

But they know where we hide

People like you and I

Will struggle for the rest of our lives
