Paradise

(album: Swings - 2014)

Paradise is a place that's far from home
And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known
Paradise...

Lately I've been dropping ecstasy (ecstasy)
Never done it but I tried it just to see (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 them
I don't blame them
Cause some days I think the same
Like I've been wasting my time
But I don't got no time to change
I done cheated
I done cheated
Every time I've 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
Yea that's how I grew
Every years a different state
Every grades a different school
Every couple years or so
Dad brought home a different mom
Brothers sisters come and go
What the fucks 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
Paradise...

Lately I 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 of my job
Yea that is the evil that will kill this race
Nobody feeling safe
Kids concealing face sealing fate
Just to fill a safe
Robbin steal yo vases while your faces in a pillow case
We in a gorilla 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 wills it takes
To stop this cinema
And the sins you administer
Cause when its finished
You'll see these 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 any way 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
