As Paradise Falls the pariah

What if you were told
That everything
You ever loved
Was nothing but a blatant lie?
That everyone you pictured
Was a figment
Of your imagi-fucking-nation?
Would you feel so betrayed
Would you know who to blame
Or would you feel forever lost?
Feel that life in your hands
Feel it fall through your fingers like the sands
Or continue to live in this world of your dreams
Where the walls have such
A deafening voice
I would rejoice
If only i could rid my mind of these incoherent tongues
In a world of solace
I'll awaken
I must run free
From these demons that live within me
They will eat me alive
No more
Do you
Feel this ever growing darkness rising
Up in you
Do you feel like you're in a dream
Does this feel surreal to you
Do you feel like you're ebbing away
No matter how loud you scream at me
I won't let you get the best of me
You will leave with me
As your blood runs cold
We are meant not for this world
For this
I would rejoice
If only i could rid my mind of these incoherent tongues
In a world of solace
I'll awaken
I must run free
From these demons that live within me
They will eat me alive
No more
No more
No more
I would rather live my life as the outcast
Than live in a world where
I am nothing but a shade
I'd rather be lifeless
Than brain dead.
