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 'em, I don't blame 'em
'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, everytime 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, yeah, 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
Lately I've been dropping two at a time
It doesn't phase me now, I'm doing just fine
And as of lately I've been breaking the law
Chasing this money I'm not making everyday of my job
Yeah, that's the evil that'll kill this race, nobody feeling safe
Kids concealing face, sealing fates, just to fill a safe
Rob and steal your vases while your face is in a pillow case
We in a guerrilla state chasing bigger real-estate
Now we riskin' realer stakes, ain't no time to feel mistakes
Ain't no extra reels or takes, tell me how much reals' it take?
To stop the cinema and the sins you administer
'Cause when it's 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 affects, and 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 is a place that's far from home
