In A Paradise

(Album: Forward Motion Godyssey - 2020)

Give me something to help me pass the time
A shallow effort to wade through what seems
Eternity, I don't mind
Giving up if it means I can unwind
To find out I am trapped inside
Who I shouldn't be, ah-ah-ah

I'll give you something if you return in kind
A subtle dose of nothing more than
Complacency, you may find

I see an Eagle in a tailored suit
There's nothing quite like its point of view
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes
A life, unlived, shadowed by disguise

Forming thoughts we think
Would never occur to them, ah-ah-ah
But we could never fully satisfy
Our endless need to know
What doesn't occur to us, ah-ah-ah

There's nothing quite like its point of view
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes
A life, unlived, shadowed by dis—

Eagle in a paradise
It comes, it goes, it already knows
Your life, has it passed you by?
It came, it went, now you're in a hole
