Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I'm going anyways
So you leave the apartment
And grab the gun under the bed
[Chorus]
I wanna reach above the paradox where nobody can see
I wanna hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet
I wanna feel the way my father felt, is it easier for me?
I wanna know if there's a higher love, oblivious to me
[Verse 2]
So you walk in the grocery
You unload several rounds
Don't you dare move a muscle
Cardboard cutout ads
[Chorus]
I wanna reach above the paradox where nobody can see
I wanna hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet
I wanna feel the way your father felt, was it easy for belief?
I wanna know if there's a higher love, he saw that I can't see
[Bridge]
Lookin' back, it's obvious now
You believe him or you don't
[Verse 3]
So, you load up your pistol
You press it to your lips
You squeeze on the trigger
All it does is clicks
[Chorus]
I wanna reach above the para-blind where nobody can see
I wanna hold a light to paradise and see if I could sleep
I wanna feel the way our fathers felt when it swept 'em off their feet
I wanna know about that higher love, you saw that can't be seen
[Bridge]
The only obvious equation
You believe it or you don't
[Verse 4]
And I've been tryin' to find the right way to get out of here
I've been tryin' to find the right way to get out of here
[Verse 5]
Oh, this is the only way to go
Oh, this is the only way
