Paradox

(album: Talk With God - 2021)

When you're far away in an empty space
And you've given your all and run the race
When your hope is strong but begins to fade
Don't lose your faith, pieces fall into place (place, place, place)

When you shoot for the moon (moon) but land in the stars (stars)
You're bruised from all (all) your battle scars (scars)
Yeah, life is like (like) a game of cards (cards)
Do the best with what you're dealt and do it well

School of hard knocks
Hear it tick-tock
Don't be afraid
We're living in a paradox

When you're scared inside but you don't know why
When you're filled with love but don't live a lie
And can barely breathe, keep track of time
Just to know your worth, know your worth, know you'll be fine

When you hold on tight and you can't find the flow
When you think too deep to let it show
You afraid of your own shadow
Gotta learn, gotta learn to let it go

School of hard knocks
Hear it tick-tock
Breathe, just relax
We're living in a paradox
(We're living in a motherfucking paradox)

Paradox, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah
In a box, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah
In a box, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah
Paradox, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah

Mmh-hm, yeah
Mmh-hm, yeah
Yeah
Uh-uh
