Paradox

What could I have done to change this?

I feel the breath slipping in and out my lips

And wishes aren’t going to save this place

But they’ll try to no avail

We spun the world off the axis

Feels like we spread too thin

This only ends when we say it does

Can you see through the smoke in this mascaraed?

The cities are burning around you now

Just admit that you’ve never been so afraid

We took the world and we dashed it on the rocks

Like the waves in the ocean

Well don’t say that you forgot

Take a look at what you’ve become

And try to see the cost of the wars you won

Because tomorrow when all is said and done

You’re going to tare yourself apart inside

Cause you’ve got to know

We’ve spun the world off the axis

Feels like we spread too thin

This only ends when we say it does

Can you see through the smoke in this mascaraed?

The cities are burning around you now

Just admit that you’ve never been so afraid

If I call would you answer without a doubt?

Can you see through the smoke in this mascaraed?

The cities are burning around you now

Just admit that you’ve never been so afraid

We tried to change the laws

But that was not enough

All of the breath that we wasted

In time our eyes will see the fault

We’ll call our only bluff

Too blind to change now it’s to late

We spun the world off the axis

Feels like we spread too thin

Well take a look at what you’ve become

Because tomorrow when all is said and done

Tarring yourself apart inside cause you got to know
