Eden

Let me paint a picture for you then ill have to teach you to see it
Illustrate the remnants of the life I used to live here in eden
Rolled a lucky pair of dice, ended up paradise
Landed on a snakes eyes, took a bite and ended up bleeding
You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
And I know theres no going back now cause
Life in eden
Life in eden changed
No way to make the pain play fair
It doesnt disappear just because you say it isnt there
So when they ask whyd she go you can say cause
Life in eden
Life in eden changed
Life in eden changed
Walking in the garden was a serpent-shaped heart and he told me
That what is broken cannot show, and less than beautiful is worse than unholy
Idolized my innocence, stole it from me in the end
Now I'm wide awakened and still paying for the poison they sold me
You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
And I know theres no going back now cause
Life in eden
Life in eden changed
No way to make the pain play fair
It doesnt disappear just because you say it isnt there
So when they ask whyd she go you can say cause
Life in eden
Life in eden changed
Life in eden changed
There was a time when I was taking all bets
That this place was even better than as good as it gets
And now looking back from the outside in
I think I was choking on the air in eden
You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
And I know theres no going back now cause
Life in eden
Life in eden changed
No way to make the pain play fair
It doesnt disappear just because you say it isnt there
So when they ask whyd she go you can say cause
Life in eden
Life in eden changed
Life in eden changed
