| 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 |
