Paradise

Paradise is a place that's far from home

And lately, all I ever see is everything I've ever known

Lately I've been dropping ecstasy

Never done it but I tried it just to see

Chasing freedom like I'm running out of youth

Ask myself, what makes me happy? I can't seem to find the truth

People ask me what I do, I say that I'm chasing dreams

I know they just think I'm crazy, putting faith in make-believe

I don't blame 'em, I don't blame 'em

'Cause some days, I think the same

Like I been wasting my time but I don't got no time to change

I done cheated, I done cheated every time I been in love

Chase the girl who doesn't care at all and hurt the one who does

I was raised to just forget about 'em, yeah, that's how I grew

Every year's a different state, every grade's a different school

Every couple years or so, dad brought home a different mom

Brothers, sisters, come and go, what the fuck's a family bond?

I just wanna fly to anywhere but where we are

So take me away and take me high, and take me far

'Cause paradise is a place that's far from home

And lately, all I ever see is everything I've ever known

Paradise is a place that's far from home

And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known

Lately, I've been dropping two at a time

It doesn't faze me now, I'm doing just fine

And as of lately, I been breaking the law

Chasing this money I'm not making every day at my job

Yeah, that's the evil that'll kill this race, nobody feeling safe

Kids concealing face, sealing fates just to fill a face

Rob and steal your vases while your face is in a pillow case

We in a guerrilla state chasing bigger real estate

Now we risking realer stakes, ain't no time to feel mistakes

Ain't no extra reals it takes, tell me how much reels it take

To stop this cinema and the sins you administer

'Cause when it's finished, your CD's minutes are just miniature

I tend to pop 'em when I'm kinda stressed

And I do not really mind the side effects

And I just wanna fly to anywhere but where we are

So take me away and take me high, and take me far

'Cause paradise is a place that's far from home

And lately, all I see is all I've ever known

Paradise is a place that's far from home

And lately, all I ever see is everything I've ever known

Paradise is a place that's far from home
